When running in a DOS window or full screen under Windows 3.1, I 
sometimes lose a typed character or two when in a local login
of Waffle.  Has this been seen before?  Is there any switch to 
set to help this?  Will 1.65 clean up the keyboard input code a bit?

Hi Tom.  You didn't mention very much about your configuration, so I can 
only hazard a guess here.

Are you using the Quarterdeck QEMM 386 Memory Manager software?

If so, try adding 'IGNOREA20 UNUSUAL8042' to your config.sys file:

  device=c:\qemm\qemm.sys ... etc ... IGNOREA20 UNUSUAL8042

The IGNOREA20 and UNUSUAL8042 switches might clear up these keyboard 
problems.  I experienced this myself, this fix worked for me.
