[Dx4win] dxw 8.01 BUG? key board

Interesting Dave. I tested using a COM port and the first two letters 
are joined in 8 but not in 7 as Oms reported. It seems the problem is 
when using the COM port only. BTW... using XP Pro. It works fine with a 
Winkey interface... but that's to be expected as the Winkey chip is 
formatting the CW.
