Hi All,

With the help of Geekosaur over on the chat line, I fixed
my Pause.pm6 module.  I came across a computer where the
module froze the terminal.  Now it is fixed.  I stood on
the shoulders of giants!  Love the chat line!

Geekosaur found and reported a bug in the example of
Term::termios

https://github.com/krunen/term-termios/issues/10

To get my module and test program without the annoying eMail
line breaks:

         This sub will
            1) dump (flush) the keyboard buffer
            2) print out $PauseMessage
            3) wait for a new (fresh) keyboard stroke
            4) return the ASCII equivalent key that was pressed

         Note: the GUI (Xfce, ec.) has precedence over reading
               unusual keys, such as the "F" keys, etc.

^^^^^  you should comment the above line out
