Hmmm, I do not understand it.
It operates on strings. I have tried to compile it, but I can
not make it work.

I want key-presses to be sent to Linrad one by one so action
can be taken on single presses. Presumably that is what
you already done with patches. Can you send something that works
on your computer?

Hmmm, questionable;-)
