Summary:

MS-DOS INT 21h, function 0Ah, "Buffered Keyboard Input," will fail if

used with MS-DOS function 0Ch, "Flush Buffer, Read Keyboard." The

"Microsoft MS-DOS Programmer's Reference" entry for function 0Ch

indicates that functions 1,6,7,8 or 0ah are legal values for function

0Ch to call after the input buffer has been flushed. The documentation

is in error; function 0Ah is not allowed for use with function 0Ch.
