How do I prevent a Key being pressed down all the time?

[Eric Chatonet]

Bonjour WIlliam,

Obviously your son has found an easy way to win :-)
All key events are sent repeatedly as long as the key is pressed.
To prevent further triggering by the same handler, just use the  
flushEvents function to trash all events you don't want until your  
handler has been effectively completed.
See FlushEvents in the docs and have a nice race :-)
