Problems with olwm

[Sean Sheridan Coleman X5672]

I got a program out of comp.sources.sun called mazewar. I compiled the X
version. When I started up the program, and tryed to use the keys asdf to
move around, the computer beeped at me and the program did nothing. I
tryed to use the dbxtool and put a stop where the program goes when there
is a key pressed. When I pressed the 'a' key, I was able to see that the
program never even knew a key was pressed. The program compiled correctly.
Is it possible that the code is bad or is the OpenWindows implemetation of
X bad? 

I appreciate your help in this matter.

Thanks

I posted earlier to this group a message about how xmazewar would not
accept keyboard input. After a few experiments, I discovered that it
works under twm but not olwm. I also discovered that xwebster would not
accept keyboard input. Both programs appear to use Xt. Has others seen
this and know a solution to the problem
