This happens even with the >test program that comes with the GRX20 distribution. There is a bug in distribution version of GRX20. It has been corrected since. I don't know when csaba will release next version. You can get a correct grx20.a/grx20.h shipped with SWORD package (see URL bellow). >A call to the GRX routine that returns the mouse status clears the >keyboard buffer, even if I pass a flag parameter saying that I don't >want to read the keyboard status.

Most features are correct now. There are still some (minor) bugs and features missing, but it is on the right way. The big lack is documentation, of course. Anyway, csaba did a great job. Hope it helps. -- Eric Nicolas Take a look to the SWORD home page : http://bunny.ensea.fr/Pages_Perso/Cedric_Joulain/sword.web/home.html
