   Hi Oli,   
      
   On 2023-02-24 14:31:38, you wrote to me:

   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.
