Yes its the letter 'F'.  I found out that the same thing happens in 
onother game, Masters of Orion.  Maybe even others, but I have not tested it.

I am using the Allegro keyboard handler, it looks like a PM handler.


key - is an array
my_keyint - is the keyboard handler routine.

Keyboard_Int = 9;
static _go32_dpmi_seginfo key_oldint;
static _go32_dpmi_seginfo key_int;

..................../   /..................


Lock_Variable(key);
Lock_Function(my_keyint); 

key_int.pm_offset = (int)my_keyint;
_go32_dpmi_allocate_iret_wrapper(&key_int);
key_int.pm_selector = _go32_my_cs();
_go32_dpmi_get_protected_mode_interrupt_vector(Keyboard_Int, &key_oldint);
_go32_dpmi_set_protected_mode_interrupt_vector(Keyboard_Int, &key_int);


Thanks
