nCrt causes me even worse problems - it doubles every character echoed
when using my input routines.  

It was pointed out today that I might want to try "tset ansi" and I'll be
damned if that didn't solve the problem entirely.  I still think there is
a bug in the CRT unit somewhere (in GetXY?) but this is a good enough fix
for me.
