: When I run flnx test programs under X11, 'alt'+'F' and
: arrow keys work fine.
: 
: But under framebuffer with tty keyboard driver,
: these keys does not work, and will terminate demo programs.

The problem is that we don't yet parse function keys
or alt-combinations and convert them into single integers.
So when you press LEFT ARROW, an ESC [ A is
sent (three characters) from the kbd driver to the lowest level
Microwindows tty driver.  The driver just thinks the user
typed ESCAPE, [, A.  The first escape will cause Microwindows
to exit unless run with the -e option.

I've just started working to fix this problem.  Expect
changes in the 0.89 release.

Regards,

Greg
