OldKbdBuffer : String

When MarxMenu loads it clears the keyboard buffer of any characters left from the previous application. However, there are some applications that chain from one part to another by stuffing the keyboard buffer and exiting to dos. These applications are difficult to run from menu systems.

So, when MarxMenu clears the buffer, it stores the buffer and it can be read by OldKbdBuffer. This allows you to execute other programs based on what was left in the buffer.

Example:
if OldKbdBuffer > '' Bat OldKbdBuffer ExitMenu endif
