Are you sure about this?
I have no problems running ReadKey with mh as background...


Here is my output:

As you can see it still runs ok.


A question from me:
Do you think there is any chance to speed up the http server off mh a bit?
ie, is there some code that can/needs to be optimised?

I have made a new web layout with buttons, javascript, dhtml etc and its a
bit on
the slow side when running it with mh.
