I am just learning how to use allegro, and experimenting with the mouse.
when I have the two lines

show_mouse(screen);
while(!keypressed());

the program immediately passes this point.  What is that about?  Shouldn't
this repeat until a key is pressed?  I even tried to clear the keyboard
buffer by doing this

show_mouse(screen);
while(keypressed());
while(!keypressed());

and this stuck me in an infinite loop.  Can anyone help me w/ this?  thanks.
