Default Right Alt-Key problem.

Hi,

One of our customers uses a keyboard with two Alt-keys. Whenever he presses
the Alt_K or Alt_P with the left Alt-key, the inkey() value in xHarbour is
as expected in inkey.ch. However, if he user the right Alt-Key, inkey()
returnes totally different values, and sometimes right Alt_K doesn't seem to
trigger the application the leave the wait state inkey(0) at all. I did
google for "Right Alt problem windows", but couldn't find anything useful.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Gerard

.... looks like an old "problem" that Micro$haft presents as a
"feature".
