hmm this 104-keyboard does, but I'm using it in "AT" mode and that may make
a difference, do, anyway the xt-keyboard generated some wierd code that'd
kill the version of gwbasic that I was running at the time... (possibly the
dos 3.1 version) or maybe it'd cause gwbasic to make a bios call that
wasn't supported by the XT's bios. I recall not having that problem when
using a different keyboard.
