Oh sure, I forgot about the floppy.

For keys, there is one question: What should happen, if
there is a keyholestone, but the key sent through the pipes
has a wrong keycode? There are at least 2 possible solutions:

* Key is not sent through the pipes, actor will keep it.

* Key is sent and instead will be dropped under the stone.

I would prefer the first one.


Greetings, Raoul
