Re: False triggering of pause -1

[Karl-Friedrich R. <mai...@gm...>]

This doesn´t reproduce for me.

On gp4.6pl0 official windows build, pause -1 waits until <space> or
<enter> is hit, all other keys pressed are completely ignored.

I like this behaviour (e.g. being able to proceed by pressing
<space>), but it is also undocumented.
