I tried posting this question on Amiga/Tech but the only response was Email
that the question didn't belong there but rather here.  I don't quite
understand that judgement yet since there is plenty of programming going on in
a techinical area instead of programming and plenty of current events going on
here instead of Amiga stuff...  I personally have a "local" problem with how
to edit the news group header... perhaps that contributes to posting to to
many groups?  O.K., here is the keyboard question:

If I doze off while reading some of these exciting posts and wake up only to
find my finger pushing down the spacebar I have successfully loaded up the
Amiga's keyboard locally and can't stop the bit stream (until all the spaces
in the buffer are used up).  This has happened twice and I have hung-up twice
to avoid loosing out.  IS THERE any way to reset the buffer, or empty it?  And
if not presently, could something be devised, i.e., is it possible?  No, DEL
did nothing.  The bit stream kept on coming non-stop.
