Having had another rash of these events which couldn't be stopped in this
way, it occurs to me that it might be possible to write a routine to put
in !Boot/Utils to flush the keyboard buffer in much the same way as HOff
tidies up a persistent hourglass to avoid rebooting.
Two questions, would this work and is there a simple fx command to
achieve this?
