The problem lies in how Manx chose to define ConsoleDevice.  The way that
they did it makes it unusable but it's required if you wanna use
RawKeyConvert() (I think that's the routine that requires it).  What you
need to do is to edit functions.h and either
1) comment out the definition and use the one that's in vt100
         -- or --
2) fix the definition in functions.h and comment out the one in vt100.

Nope, it won't be out for a while yet (like, several months).  Sorry for
the delay.  I wanted to get it out around 09/88 but work and all has
gotten in the way.
