Hi George,
I don't know the rationale for this but Microsoft in their wisdom decided
that some keys would go through KeyPress and others wouldn't. It looks as if
those keys that generate "characters" in the ASCII range do go through
KeyPress. For you this means that you can trap the Escape and Return keys
there and the arrow keys in KeyDown.
