Why's ALT pausing my app in windowed mode?

OK I have a "workaround/hack" for the alt pausing problem.
define these constants:
Const LEFT_ALT = 56
Const KEYEVENTF_KEYUP = 2			

Then add this of code to your main loop:
If KeyHit (LEFT_ALT) Then			
User32_keybd_event(255,0,0,0)
User32_keybd_event(255,0,KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0)
EndIf

It requires that you have made a user.decls file with this in it:
.lib "user32.dll"
User32_keybd_event%(bVk%, bScan%, dwFlags%, dwExtraInfo%) : "keybd_event" 

Basically, when alt is pressed, the blitz program intercepts it and pushes a 255 Key Down (and Key Up (for safety)). This modifies the alt key press so that it thinks alt+255 is pressed (which doesn't exist) and thus the window menu is not focused. Tada.
