Hi Oli,

Ok, we'll see. I have done the coding last night to switch to the Windows
Console API way of getting the keyboard input in FConfig. Which seems to work
fine, but I want to do a bit more testing, in windows (xp), before trying it
in wine, and making it available for public testing. ;-)

Bye, Wilfred.
