Don't care. Your user is fast enough to read it in realtime. If not,
he is smart enough to pipe your output to more or less.
BTW: This problem is not as easy as it sounds. There is no generic
console definition, so you cannot say: hey, Get_Immediate after
every 25 lines. Using xterms your line-number is even much more
undefined :) And then solving the problems with serial terminals and/or
different OSs. Good luck. The solution are the first 10 bytes in line 12.
