I don't think the phantom typist is not caused by the ST missing a 'key
released' signal. If you turn off all interrupts and then move the mouse, the 
ST behaves as if it has received _lots_ of keypresses. It doesn't slow typing 
down as reported.

I've never seen 'The Phantom Typist'. What has happened to me in First Word
Plus, using a disk based versiuon of TOS 1.4 (8/8/88 version), is that the
program simply locks up while I'm typing quickly. No chances to save, it's
gone.

This may be a problem with my old copy of TOS 1.4, but until I can buy some 
ROMs from Atari UK....

Mat.
