Hiya,
  
   I'm writing a dos program with allegro's keyboard handler installed.  I'd
like for my program to be able to send the Alt+Esc keycode so as to minimize my
full screen dos program to the win95 taskbar.  I wrote a quick program (and ran
it under dos 6.22) to get the keycode for Alt+Esc and found it to be "256", so
I tried simulate_keypress(256); but as you can guess it didn't work.  Where did
I go astray?  Any ideas?

Thanks,
  JayD.
