- On 21-Apr-97, --==MURRAY==-- sat on a keyboard and produced this mess:

- Don't use that command. It crashes/corrupts for me as well. There are
- other fast 32 icon commands, aren't there?

- No. :-(

-
- Umm, don't turn multitasking off. That would seemingly solve all your
- problems with crashing and reading the keyboard (with Raw Key, it can't
- detect multiple key presses at the same time, which could also be a
- problem). Surely you can't be that desperate for the speed? I'm sure
- there are better ways to accelerate your code.
