Yeah, I have adopted your code as of 2.30am today, and made the
fix available in the current alpha, available for FREQ as
MSQALPHA.ZIP.  Note that I'm not joking when I call something
an alpha.  It only includes DOS + OS/2 executables.

BB> The correct way to fix it would probably be to use separate threads for the 
BB> keyboard and mouse and use blocking i/o.  This might break the DOS support 
BB> though.  I haven't had time to explore this more fully.

Yeah, I prefer not to get too close to the compiler myself.
BFN.  Paul.
