Thanks for the feedback. No need for me to switch to the console to kill the program. I just have to hit ctrl-c. Input is still going to the terminal I start the game with. I tried restarting the game half a dozen times, but the focus never worked. The only thing that works is to start in windowed mode, and then switch to fullscreen. Or, just staying in a window, which is what I usually do. dave.k ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WINDOWS 8 is here. Millions of people.
