Says me Part Two, but I see now it's an Anziowin issue.  Here's my test
code:

::end:
@KEYT::x(1,*)=waitkey:
::errorbox @sk:
::goto @keyt:

In response to backspace, this works fine at the console (errorbox
displays "BKSP"), but in Anzio, errorbox puts up an empty window. So it's
some issue in my Anzio environment.

Working in the shell, I run od and start typing.  I see that at the
console, backspace is handled in a manner invisible to stdout, whereas in
Anzio, backspace is echoed as ^H when typed, and the 0x08 appears in od's
output.

I'll take this up with Senor Rasmussen.

Again, thanks for the responses.
