This is actually an SVGAlib bug, I believe. It appears that we get the wrong key code for the "=+" key when the key is pressed, but that we get the right one when it is released. That confuses Executor, since we get the keycode for a "9(" on the way down, so we think that a '9' or '(' has been pressed, and then autorepeat kicks on and we never see the key come back up. Jeff> Keypad '+' shows a '-', non repeating, Keypad '-' shows a Jeff> '*', non repeating Keypad '*' shows a '/', non repeating Those are differences in the labelling of the PC keyboards vs. the labelling of Mac keyboards. Right now our KCHR resource maps them the way they'd be mapped on a Mac keyboard. We will probably change that before 2.0 ships. Jeff> etc Jeff> I haven't tried all key combos.
