   Log Message:   
   Fix RIP autodetection   
      
   When ESC! is sent, rip replies with the form "RIPSCRIP015410", but   
   OpenDoors was only detecting the "RIP" part, then clearing the key   
   buffer and hoping for the best. If any of the trailing bytes were   
   received "later", they would end up in the input queue.   
      
   RIPTerm in DOSBox with a telnet modem would split the string in   
   arbitrary ways, ensuring that parts of it were, in fact, received   
   later.   
      
   For extra hilarity, an 'S' in the key buffer would stop a file being   
   displayed early, and a 'P' would pause it (with no prompt). One of   
   the two would randomly happen.   
      
   Now, it still enables RIP if "RIP" is detected, but the discards   
   up to 11 more bytes in the same 660ms timeout that's being used for   
   RIP detection in the first place.
