Then it is not what was originally described, now is it? (hint: no.) what you just described is something totally seperate, and yes, *THAT* is a key handler loop problem.</STRONG>
To undo it, tap that direction a few times.
It may not be a DF bug, since this is pretty widespread.

<STRONG>Donut: I been testing and playing with my personal Pratchett mod for a couple of weeks now. Elves are the evil race, and feel NOPAIN, while troll clans (made of minerals and metals, so you see things like Wondercoal, native copper troll peasant, in @mode) wander about in the mountains, and Feegles have replaced kobolds as fightin' and drinkin' and stealin' bastards. They move ridiculously fast and are hard to stop in fortress mode, but I adventured with one the other day and headbutted a cyclops into unconsciousness, so it evens out.Dwarven bread is what's been killing me. I CANNOT get a working reaction. The smelter doesn't handle any kind of extracts, for the most part, and I can't even get it to use cave wheat leaves (the plain harvested sort). I could just make a plain stone-only reaction, but.. there's hardly any point in that, I'd know it was a sham. -.-
On the upside, my last fort mined out a couple of treacle veins. But again, due to smelter limitations, I can't turn it into syrup, and I can't make it auto-cookable as a mineral. -.- I managed to get a working fat reaction, though, so you can mine out fat and turn it into elephant tallow.

Also, I think current garment making system is really irritating. If someone makes a second-rate or fifth-rate police uniform, they should be trying again until they get it right.
-Protect the bouncing commas
-Capture enemy generators
-Link them to your generators by placing them on the dots that appear a knight move away from your generators
-Your bouncing commas generate power
-Shooting enemies generates power
-destroy all enemies to fight the sector boss
-the next sector is harder
code:
Build command Function
Q weapon
W turret
E basic soldier
A wall
D general
Z flier (will attack on its own)
C upgrade (one of several)
The leadership applies the special attributes of that color to your units - possibly more so to your generals than your fliers.
Black (flashing gray) -- steals life
Dark Blue - I'm really not sure, maybe a melee damage bonus given the names
Dark Green - melee poison I think, hit people take extra damage over time
Dark Cyan - temp speed bursts at random intervals
Dark Red - immolation (fire damage during combat, possibly a small range to it)
Dark Magenta - life draining at a distance, I think, maybe
Brown - extra hit points
Light Gray - ranged bullet weapon
Dark Gray - armor
Light Blue - I'm really not sure, maybe a melee damage bonus given the names
Light Green - regeneration
Light Cyan - permanent speed bonus
Yellow - electrical field (like immolation)
White - heal nearby units
It is possible to make a unit that flashes a different color by using linked generators, but I haven't found the benefit of this.
Also, toady said that the auxiliary colors for the weapon don't make a difference.
If anyone else is playing this game, please help me out on this 
I noticed in 309 that defending yourself gains law skill, but a sleeper lawyer cant seem to train it.

So when were you planning to post some spoilers, toady?
