Using Win32 (59.1) , I'm having a problem with the keypad sending the wrong
keycodes.
setHandler(Screen, w32HKeyDown, routine_id("keyDownProcess"))
I'm trapping keys with the above statement. With the numlock on the 2 key
(and down arrow when no numlock) is sending a keycode of lowercase "b". This
just so happens to launch my programs. They think it is a "B" for begin. All
the other keys on the keypad behave as I expected. I tried this on more than
one computer and they behave the same, so it's not the keyboard.
Is this my mistake using the keypad incorrectly or win32 error? If it's win32
where in the heck do I look.

Odd... not having a copy of win32lib handy right now, what about the
other members of params?
Can you look at (and maybe post if significant) the value of param
generated for 'b', 'B', downarrow, 2withnumlockoff, 2withnumlockon?
(Not just the number, the entire sequence)

With help, I found that the KeyDown and KeyUp do not return the ascii codes for
characters. Each key is assigned a number (w32Keys.e) and that number is what
is returned. KeyPress returns the ascii code for the character. So the problem
was my misunderstanding of what was being returned.
