Having some kind of Keyboard Mode selection Variable that defaults to TP compatibility would be a great option.

This includes the lack of support for extended keys (like F11 and F12). The Windows crt unit doesn't conform strictly to that, however, so that's why there are differences. I don't want to sacrifice the DOS/TP7 crt unit compatibility, so I'll have to think of something, but it'll take a little time. Perhaps I'll add different keyboard compatibility "modes" or something like that.
