I'm having a similar problem, except it's freezing during a trade
negotiation at any port during the autotrade. The only way
to make the screen move again is to hit ESC or Enter, and
then the script moves on. It moves to the next sector, ports
and begins to negotiate the trade - and then it stops and one
has to hit ESC or Enter again to make it keep going.

This didn't start on my Win2K machine until I installed the
newest JRE (j2sdk1.4.2), but since then it's happened with a
Windows 98 machine running an older version of the JRE and
on a Windows 95 machine using the JRE packaged with J-
TWAT.

Maybe something in a recent J-TWAT update?
