- I am writing a program and I want to use the CTRL_P key combination
- in it. I am using bioskey() to read keys. When I press "ctrl-p"
- my program does not see it, and when I exit my program, I get an
- "abort retry fail ignore" message because the printer isn't turned
- on. At first I thought 4dos was up to something, but the docs say
- that ctrl-p is intercepted by the bios and has something to do
- with printscreen. I there any way to get around this behavior?
