  Although I haven't seen the original message posted, I've also encountered an
ocassional problem with the keyboard in programs using Allegro (if that was the
program).  I found that pressing CTRL would return RHIDE to normal usage... If
nobody has noticed this solution I suppose the solution to the problem would be
somewhere within the keyflags of RHIDE upon returning after executing a program?
