Hello,

 I am making a program using DJGPP and Allegro to play MIDIs while
displaying a Christmas pic.  My problem is that I cannot figure out how
to check for a keypress while the MIDI is playing.  All the attempts
that I have made have either not read any input at all, or made a
repeating drum-like sound in the background.  A copy of my code is
below. I am trying to make it where the user can press a key to stop the
song and skip to the next one in the sequence.

Thank you,
Jason Eastham
