 KH> It's only a few bytes,

It's not quite that simple. First, note that there's no asm source in
MultiMail proper, and never will be. All keyboard and screen handling is
done via curses calls, so this would have to be patched on the level of the
curses library -- PDCurses, in this case.

The current keyboard check within PDCurses is a black box: a call to
kbhit(), which is a system library function. I don't even have the source
for the Turbo C++ version of kbhit(), as used in the XT port. But I could
try compiling that module of PDCurses to asm and see what I can find...
I'll think about it.
