In many games, e.g. Doom, Terminal Velocity, etc, the "pause" key does
not pause the computer, but rather pauses the game.  Obviously, the
pause key must have been trapped in some manner.  Any ideas on doing
this in DJGPP?  Either disabling the pause key entirely or somehow
having a function called when it is hit would be very valuable.

Thanks.
