Your key-logger sounds an excellent idea. I'm not smart enough with Windows
(it's not my prime target for my skills) to be able to do one myself.
In DOS, yes, in Windows XP SP2 (just so you know!), no.

I'll pick it up hopefully Monday morning here in England and give it a go.
If you want to email it to me I am on andy at kestreltele.com.

We'll see what we can achieve. I guess your logger would need to pick up the
information as to what shift state IDE thinks is true with each keystroke
as well as the keystroke itself.  Sorry, of course you know that!
