The original problem was that the drop command stopped working in
Tetris after a while.  I posted that spacebar and comma didn't work.
Others suggested using the keypad (I tried, it didn't work either).
Others wanted to know what system I was using (I asked if anyone else
had the problem, so as to narrow down what aspect of things might be
failing, rather than post a long system summary).  One person
suggested that Multifinder might be to blame ("Round up the usual
suspects").  One person posted that he had the problem too, ever
since he'd shifted to a datadesk keyboard.

AHA!

I removed Masterstrokes from the system folder, rebooted, voila!
(For those who don't know, Masterstrokes is the keyboard macro CDEV
that Datadesk ships with its keyboards.)

It works now.  Thanks everyone.
