I have deleted your program a couple of years ago, but IIRC it was masking the keyboard IRQ and was reading the port60 for keypresses - extremely dumb way of dealing with keyboard and have nothing to do with PIC btw. AFAIK the problem with terminal mode is that we can't detect the release events, so the release event is passed to the program immediately after the press event, and if the program uses a polling technique, then it will miss the press event as it lasts for the very short period.
