Hi Greg,

Right now I have the keyboard driver modifed to NEVER return -2, which
is what ESC
has been special cased to do.

So in drivers/kbd_tty.c,
function TTY_Read, the following line does not exist.

if(*buf == 0x1b)
        return -2;

So now my application does not quit on pressing escape or any of the
function keys that generate "esc". Isnt there right now any way I can
catch any special keys....

Thanks & Regds,

Ritesh.
