hmm.... yah, as i recall the SSC firmware terminal wasn't real friendly 
to lowercase.  there should be a command that you can type in after a 
^A to make it work real nice....

otherwise, try doing a ^A3 S<cr>
which will chain output to slot 3 and ought nicen things up.

losing characters?  try shortening your screen length by a line.  i 
think that typing HOME:TEXT:POKE 34,2<cr> from the ] prompt ought to 
work fine.

You say an Apple II is slow?  Gee, mine runs about on par with several 
'286s I've seen.... oh yes, I have a command line after 4 seconds, too.
