I have gotten a few illegal ops it seems to happen when I press one key (or
a combination of keys shft+tab etc) twice or three times really fast but if
I try to get it to crash by doing this on purpose it wont happen (go figure)
I'll keep an eye on it.

That could be the font...  Did you try any other fonts?  (i.e. with the
font_80 & font_132 keywords)

Try something like:

       font_80=Courier New
or
       font_80=Terminal

and tell me if that helps, or if it's something else?  (I've only tried
the emulator at 1024 x 768)

That'd be great.

source code for winterm.c)

I was thinking about this issue...  It'd be awfully nice to come up with
a way to do keyboard maps that would be consistent across all of the
different terminal objects -- but is that even possible?

The way the Linux/BSD/U**X terminals read keyboards and the way that
Windows reads keyboards is radically different.  (And I'm not sure about
GTK, yet, but I suspect it's more like Windows)

If possible, I'd like to end up with a nice little program where you can
simply pick which key to re-map, and then press the key you want to use.
Find a way to make this work with all interfaces, and it'd be ideal...

These are also hardcoded in the source of winterm.c.  It'd be reasonably
simple to read this from a file and set the values accordingly...  I just
haven't had time to do it yet.  Again, I'd like to find a way to make the
configuration consistent across platforms..

Thanks for the input!  Keep it coming... :)
