   This may have been discussed before, but I just noticed it. On
DOS 3.21, if I type ^P at the system prompt the cursor moves back
to the beginning of the line, and then the keyboard locks up, although
I can still reboot with <ctrl><alt><del>. Neither ^C nor ^<break> will
do anything. Anyone know of a patch for this? By the way, this is on a
clone, although nothing else has ever failed to work properly on it.
   Before you take the time to mail me, you might check replies to this.
I'll post a reply if and when I get it figured out, or someone mails me
a solution.
