Re: How to lock keys.

Great minds think alike! :-) Just saw this after posting my earlier response
concerning SetConsoleCtrlHandler.

Additional information: Look for a package in the Win32ada binding (don't know
where it is in Object Ada, but I believe it exists somewhere there!) named:

package Win32.Wincon is

The call you want to investigate is:

    function SetConsoleCtrlHandler(
        HandlerRoutine: PHANDLER_ROUTINE;
        Add           : Win32.BOOL)
        return Win32.BOOL;

How to hook up to this and provide a handler routine would seem to be a fair Ada
related question.
