AGI FANMADE: conflicting variables and game slowed down

Description
ScummVM 1.5.0 - Windows 7 I\'m going through the fanmade game \'Hank\'s Quest: Victim of Society\" at the moment and I came across the following 2 issues: 1. The following variables seem to be assigned/in use somehow by ScummVM (or at least given a value when the game starts, even when I set the values to something different): v26, v28 & v29. This only happens in Scumm and not in NAGI or any other interperter. 2. Having have.key() during a loop (the command that waits for the player to press any key during a cutscene (e.g.)) slows the game down considerably. It seems like the game speed is slowed down by 1 step (this is controlled with the variable v10), but this might be just the game itself slowing down. Thanks in advance.

And f100101ff, please submit only one bug per bug report in the future, it's easier that way for the developers (i.e. having the parts 1. and 2. in their own bug reports would've been ideal), thank you.

About the use of variables v26-v29 by ScummVM:
Variables 0-26 are reserved for internal use by the AGI engine, see: http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/AGI/Specifications/Internals#How_the_interpreter_works
v26 is used for the monitor type (e.g. Hercules, CGA, EGA), see http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/AGI/Specifications/Internals#tab-reserved-variables and http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/AGI/Specifications/Internals#tab-monitor-types
v27-v29 are used by AGI Mouse extension: - v27: Button pressed (0=none, 1=left, 2=right, 3=middle). - v28: The X position of the mouse. - v29: The Y position of the mouse. See http://www.agidev.com/articles/a.php?id=25
