Subject: Bug report (Don't panic, Wouter :)

The bug's mine, and I'm surprised no one's called me on it yet.  A little
while back I posted a small example of how to use idcmp to get keyboard input
and build a string out of it.  Well, one of the things I meant to do in the
scan() function is to save the old idcmp flags of the window argument so they
could be restored upon exit.  The example worked without apparent side effects
since the window I used had no idcmp flags set, but in real life it will act
unexpectedly if the window is using idcmp outside of the function.  To fix the
problem, just change the line in scan() that reads

  oldIdcmpFlags:=win.flags

to read

  oldIdcmpFlags:=win.idcmpflags

My apologies.
