Hmmm... what do those keys do? Does your screen contents change? To
something interesting, or just junk?

The only thing which comes to mind is that ForthOS assumes you're using
the old MGA text screen locations, not the CGA ones. It's hard to imagine
that there are still CGA emulation cards out there, but I can't figure
what the problem would be otherwise.
