-#####GComment
-/*
-* Create a new path by appending a file (or directory) to a path
-*
-* This requires no special processing on simple machines, except
-* for verifying the size of the filename, but note the ability to
-* bypass the given "path" with certain special file-names.
-*
-* Note that the "file" may actually be a "sub-path", including
-* a path and a file.
-*
-* Note that this function yields a path which must be "parsed"
-* using the "parse" function above.
-*/
-
-#####GDescription
-Append file "file" to path "path" and return the result in "buf". The
-length of "buf" is a maximum of "max" characters. If "file" starts
-with '~' then return "file". If "file" starts with the path separator
-and the path separator is not blank then return "file". If there is no
-path then return "file". Otherwise return "path" + path separator +
-"file". The path separator is defined in "H-config.h".
-
-#####GParameters
-> "buf" contains the new path.
-> "max" is the maximum number of characters allowed in "buf".
-> "path" is the original path.
-> "file" is the original file.

-#####GComment
-/*
-* Get a keypress from the user.
-*
-* This function recognises a few "global parameters". These are variables
-* which, if set to TRUE before calling this function, will have an effect
-* on this function, and which are always reset to FALSE by this function
-* before this function returns. Thus they function just like normal
-* parameters, except that most calls to this function can ignore them.
-*
-* If "inkey_xtra" is TRUE, then all pending keypresses will be flushed,
-* and any macro processing in progress will be aborted. This flag is
-* set by the "flush()" function, which does not actually flush anything
-* itself, but rather, triggers delayed input flushing via "inkey_xtra".
-*
-* If "inkey_scan" is TRUE, then we will immediately return "zero" if no
-* keypress is available, instead of waiting for a keypress.
-*
-* If "inkey_base" is TRUE, then all macro processing will be bypassed.
-* If "inkey_base" and "inkey_scan" are both TRUE, then this function will
-* not return immediately, but will wait for a keypress for as long as the
-* normal macro matching code would, allowing the direct entry of macro
-* triggers. The "inkey_base" flag is extremely dangerous!
-*
-* If "inkey_flag" is TRUE, then we will assume that we are waiting for a
-* normal command, and we will only show the cursor if "hilite_player" is
-* TRUE (or if the player is in a store), instead of always showing the
-* cursor. The various "main-xxx.c" files should avoid saving the game
-* in response to a "menu item" request unless "inkey_flag" is TRUE, to
-* prevent savefile corruption.
-*
-* If we are waiting for a keypress, and no keypress is ready, then we will
-* refresh (once) the window which was active when this function was called.
-*
-* Note that "back-quote" is automatically converted into "escape" for
-* convenience on machines with no "escape" key. This is done after the
-* macro matching, so the user can still make a macro for "backquote".
-*
-* Note the special handling of "ascii 30" (ctrl-caret, aka ctrl-shift-six)
-* and "ascii 31" (ctrl-underscore, aka ctrl-shift-minus), which are used to
-* provide support for simple keyboard "macros". These keys are so strange
-* that their loss as normal keys will probably be noticed by nobody. The
-* "ascii 30" key is used to indicate the "end" of a macro action, which
-* allows recursive macros to be avoided. The "ascii 31" key is used by
-* some of the "main-xxx.c" files to introduce macro trigger sequences.
-*
-* Hack -- we use "ascii 29" (ctrl-right-bracket) as a special "magic" key,
-* which can be used to give a variety of "sub-commands" which can be used
-* any time. These sub-commands could include commands to take a picture of
-* the current screen, to start/stop recording a macro action, etc.
-*
-* If "angband_term[0]" is not active, we will make it active during this
-* function, so that the various "main-xxx.c" files can assume that input
-* is only requested (via "Term_inkey()") when "angband_term[0]" is active.
-*
-* Mega-Hack -- This function is used as the entry point for clearing the
-* "signal_count" variable, and of the "character_saved" variable.
-*
-* Hack -- Note the use of "inkey_next" to allow "keymaps" to be processed.
-*
-* Mega-Hack -- Note the use of "inkey_hack" to allow the "Borg" to steal
-* control of the keyboard from the user.

-* XXX XXX XXX Note that we must be very careful about using the

-and the maximum is 10 (range 20), then the value returned is
-(45 * 20) / 60 which is 900 / 60 which is 15 + the minimum -10 gives
