The TappyType init/cdev posted recently causes a minor (well, major but easily
worked-around) problem in LSP.  If you run a project that has files that have
been edited since the last save, Pascal will prompt you about saving them.  If
you have two or more of them, and you hit the return key to indicate "yes" for
the first file, the machine will beep repeatedly at you and never put up the
dialog for the second file.  The workaround is simple: just use the mouse
instead of the keyboard.  But it's still mildly annoying.

This was verified by turning off all other inits using InitCdev 2.0 (a very
nice piece of shareware, by the way).  TappyType had both regular keys and
return key noises turned on.
