[BRLTTY] Xbrlapi

[Willie Walker]

Orca is doing a brlapi.readKey, meaning it is probably pulling
everything off the key event list before xbrlapi has a chance to see it.
I have a couple questions:

1) What is xbrlapi?  Is it something that should co-exist with Orca, or
is it something that Orca should subsume?

2) If xbrlapi is something that should co-exist with Orca, and the use
of readKey is what is breaking this relationship, what recommendations
do you have for what we should do in Orca?
