Like to add that Enrique tested a special Rebel version that records all
keyboard input into a LOGFILE. This to check if AUTO232 and its use is
still clean and free from any cheats.

Besides a few strange unknown SPACE+ENTER keystrokes which sometimes
disturbs the Rebel permanent brain nothing special was found. Multiple
programs were tested. Conclusion sofar: AUTO232 is clean including the
not standard and secret Fritz5 autoplayer.
