   Hi all,   
      
   I'm currently having a play around with MPL scripts (A46 Win32) and appear to   
   have run into an issue regarding the 'KeyPressed/ReadKey' functions in the   
   following code:   
      
   ----------   
      
   var gExitFlag : boolean;   
   var gCount : integer;   
      
   begin   
     gExitFlag := false;   
     repeat   
       write('|[X00|[Y00' + int2str(gCount));   
       gCount := gCount + 1;   
       if (keypressed()) then   
         begin   
           if ('q' = readkey()) then   
             gExitFlag := true;   
         end   
     until gExitFlag = true;   
   end.   
      
   ----------   
      
   The code appears to run as expected when I connect via syncterm, but the   
   netrunner client appears to send a periodic heartbeat code which forces   
   the KeyPressed function to return 'true'. I'm not sure which code netrunner   
   is sendind, but it appears to stall the subsequent call to ReadKey - pressing   
   a key allows the script to continue until the next heartbeat code is sent.   
      
   Most of this is largely supposition, but perhaps the heartbeat code is   
   fooling ReadKey into waiting for a multi-byte sequence? Failing that, perhaps   
   there's an error in the script somewhere?   
      
   Any help and/or advice would be greatly appreciated.
