sleep w/inkey, certain keys cause processing to pause

[Fairlight]

With neither thought nor caution, Filepro List blurted:
> I wrote in about breaking out of sleep command with a keystroke. The inkey works great, Thanks. The problem I found using inkey is that some keys actually pause the processing, until another key is pressed.

I strongly suspect that the processing is not actually pausing, so much as
you're not generating anything INKEY understands, therefore it's still
waiting.

CapsLock and ScreenLock are both scankey-only.  They don't actually resolve
to a keysym.  The control codes...I would have to do the actual math, but
offhand I'm guessing that mathematically they don't even work out to a
valid character.  

F11 and F12 are a bigger mystery to me, as I know someone that used to map
Save to F11, so I know fP knows about it.  I can't explain these two away.

Sounds like you're using combinations that filePro is not designed to look
for--mostly invalid control keys and scankey-only keys (caps-lock shouldn't
work any more than shift, alt, or control) that are really modifiers
anyway, not real keys that resolve to a mapping.
