(BUG) PROBLEM WITH CAPS LOCK!



Hello guys!
        I was playing Maelstrom when I need to pause the game. Following the
instructions, i press and release caps lock. My caps-lock led get on, but
the game was not paused. So I try holding but not releasing the caps Lock
key, and the game get paused.

So I began to think, that this is the way the Mac uses the caps lock key:
If on a Mac you press the caps lock key, it gets down,making phisical
contact,  and if you press again, it releases.

In that case, the caps-lock  key should not work for any program

I have tried it with Tex-Edit, Word 5 etc. and the caps lock key doesnt work!

I dont think this is a hard work to patch, instead of checking if the key is
hold or released, just check the keyb status byte!

Hope it Helps!
