	I seem to have a problem with my keyboard, (on an Amiga 1000) If ever
I have three keys pressed at the same time  I get extra characters typed
the most common is the sequence 'del' (it's only most common because I use
'del a lot in delete) When ever I type 'del' quickly I get 'delo'.  I get
this extra sequence for about half the 3 key sequnces I make.

	I know that the Amiga 1000 keyboard is desinged in such a way
that this ghosting will occur BUT only if more than 10 keys are pressed.
So what's the verdict is my keyboard dead?  Or is this some quirk in a 
RAWKEY code conversion?
