Here's a technical question about systems software.  When we
change what the mouse looks like (mous_form), the keyboard
doesn't work for a while, until 6 or 7 keystrokes have been
entered.  Any ideas why?  Any ideas of a workaround?

code fragment:

main()
{
int     handle  ;
        appl_init();
        v_opnvwk( work_in, &handle, work_out  ) ;

                graf_mouse(3, OL) ;
                Cconin() ;

                for (;;)
                        {
                        if (Cconis() != 0)
                                {
                                printf("have a key\n") ;
                                Cconin() ;
                                }
                        graf_mouse(255, mous_form) ;
                        }
        v_clsvwk(handle);
        appl_exit();
}


Thanks for any ideas...
