I'm writing a realtime application which runs a robot arm by reading  
characters from the keyboard. The problem is that too many commands
get "queued" into the keyboard buffer.  What's a quick and easy way
(assembly , turbo-pascal, or just poking memory) to clear the 
keyboard?  Net people with memory maps, any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
       Kelly.

P.S. The "PC compatible" is a Tandy 1000, if it helps.
