Thanks, Mario, John, and Eli. Running emacs -Q gave the same symptom,
but rebooting w64 ver. 7 Ultimate fixed the problem. I usually just put
OS to sleep at night and sometimes get away without rebooting for a few
weeks but apparently MS garbage collection is not as good as Emacs'.
It's still a mystery why keyboard entry worked outside of Emacs. Maybe
it's because runemacs.exe and emacsclientw are not run from C:\Program
Files or c:\Program Files (x86) but from c:\emac\bin.
Thanks again,
Ed
p.s. I am married to the keytweak software. Without that I would need a
dedicated keyboard for emacs; maybe that's not a bad idea.
