     Sorry, what I meant is that, I can't seem to use any Kbd functions
from anything other than the primary thread.  It gives me an exception code
0005. 
 I tried using:

     KbdFreeFocus(0); // in the primary thread
and
     KbdGetFocus(IO_NOWAIT,0); // in the secondary thread

but no matter what, and Kbd function causes the exception (include
KbdGetFocus), so I have a funny feeling I'm comepletely out to lunch on
that one.  Anyways, how do I allow a thread other than the original one use
the keyboard?  I can't find any sample code that does this.  In fact, the
one program I do have that has multiple threads, and uses keyboard input,
goes out of it's way to ensure it has the Kbd functions in the primary
thread, (resulting in a requirement for keyboard input to shut down,
something I absolutely can not allow.  My program has to be able to run
with out keyboard input)
