Dear Netland,
  I have a question regarding lock-ups.  What causes the IBM PC's
keyboard to lock-up?  Is it always caused by errors in software?  Is
there anyway to recover from it without shutting off the computer and
losing everything?  The main reason I am asking is because I know of
some NEC IBM AT compatable machines running Bentley Microstation, MS-DOS
3.3 that are locking up quite frequently and drawings are being lost
(well the unsaved portion).  If anyone can offer any suggestions it
would be greatly appreciated.
