The figure below shows the Sending section of the Preferences dialog:

Figure 5.2. The Sending section of the Preferences dialog

In this section you configure the default paramenters used when sending several commands at once. This setting is used in the Command History (Section 6.3.4, “Command History”) and Multi-line Send (Section 6.3.5, “Multi-line Send”) dialogs.

You specify the number of commands or lines that are sent simultaneously, and the delay between sending each group of commands/lines (containing the specified number of commands/lines, naturally). Note, however, that the values you set here are only defaults, you can change the values in the dialogs of those features if you need so.
