I realized that I am perhaps being a bit vague?
The application is a server. The user is connecting via TCP/IP, much like Telnet. Continuing the telnet analogy, some commands, like cat, produce all their output at once, while other commands, like find, produce their output a little at a time. Either way, the user doesn't have to press any more keys to get all the output, and I don't mind if they receive it all at once (as if the output of the find command was buffered, and sent in its entirety when the command completed)
Have I clarified things or made it worse?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
