By providing 'nld_readkey' with Allegro, the developer doesn't have to do
much to support keys depending on num lock's state, all they have to do
is call nld_readkey instead of readkey. I find it useful, I think other
developers out there, who use Allegro, would also. Perhaps we could take
a poll?

Would it make the CVS admin's job easier if there was a set standard?
Have a nice day!
