What is your MAX_ACCELERATION parameter set to in the .ini file?

I've never seen this related to speed. I do know it is possible by
bobbling on
the arrow keys to get it moving without holding a key down. Pressing a
key for that axis and releasing it will reset the key press reding code in
the GUI. (The problem is the way keyboard press and release messages are
sent by the keyboards when you hit several keys at once.)
