Wading through old message packets .... its only 14 months old!
The BC++1.0 IDE really drives me nuts. If I am concentrating on some
code and hold the arrow key down too long, I have to sit an wait for the
msg queue to empty of the arrow messages before continuing. The
BC++ for Windows doesn't do this ... guess Borland programmers don't
communicate across the partitions!
The fix is fairly simple, after going into some arcane coding, proving
the KISS principle, yet again. I just used the PEEK to drain/remove
any arrow messages from the queue.
