System:
ScummVM 1.2.0, Windows, English.

I'm not sure if this bug has occurred before, this is the first time I've tried playing Return to Zork on ScummVm, but when in the game, keyboard input doesn't do anything. I can't skip cut scenes and I can't open the Scumm menu in game. Mouse clicks seem to work fine. I believe I'm running the CD version of the game, it's been a long time since I put it on my hard drive.
Thanks!

    Have checked this against previous versions of ScummVM and it does not appear to be
    a regression.

    However, ScummVM's MADE Engine implementation does not implement some
    of the keyboard shortcuts of the original IBM DOS interpreter, specifically :
    F1: Open Zork System Menu
    F2: Quick Save
    F3: Quick Load
    F4: Repeat Last Screen Message
    Cursor Keys / Numeric Keypad : Control Pointer with Keyboard
    Plus = Right Mouse Button
    Minus = Left Mouse Button
    Spacebar = Skip Cutscenes

    However the game is playable :
    ScummVM System Menu is available via CTRL-F5.
    ESC skips cutscenes (where possible e.g. Infocom Logo is not skippable)
    Zork System Menu is accessed by moving the mouse to the top left corner of the screen.
    Right Click opens the inventory.
