Hi Paul.
In fact, when You type a single "a" in dialog box, there is the second
character created by "Enter" key. Your second RC takes that char and outputs
to :second value "\

If You expand your test as follows, the situation will be clear:

to testRC
	make "first rc
	make "second rc
	show (word :first :second)
	show ascii :second
end

I wouldn't call it a problem with "rc" in MSWLogo. But if someone should
answer to a successive single keystrokes, he is to use "keyboardon" instead.
