Pardon me for butting in, but I believe the question involved using 
KbdCharIn(), not getch(). You wouldn't, by any chance, be using getch() 
because you know that KbdCharIn() doesn't work, would you? 

Since getch() presumably works, an explanation of how they did it would be 
highly relevant to this thread. I am just ramping up to programming OS/2, 
and the thought that a function call which is documented to get keystrokes 
doesn't get all of them and doesn't document that fact is very disturbing 
(albeit all too familiar). 

The documented behavior of KbdSetStatus() in a Vio-windowed application is 
"ignored". That is, PRCP.INF states (I presume) that it won't work in a 
windowed command-line session.
