Don't listen to this heresy. That's just one option of many. I dare say that
there are at least as many versions of Tetris that use:

	4 - left
	5 - rotate
	6 - right
    space - drop

I agree with the writer who suggested that you implement a scheme that would
let the user define what key did what. Then, everybody's happy. By the way, it's
nicely done.
