keyboard events

Hello all,
  especially windows people and Exotica people,

I have recently discovered a shortcoming in Exotica(X)'s keyboard handling 
capability. Chris Bensler advised me:

>handling.


...and I was wondering what the best way would be to do this. I am not a 
windows "guru" but have used Win32lib a bit. I realize that the new version 
of Euphoria will make using large libraries together easier but is it really 
necesary to include win32lib just to use the kb event handling routines? 
Also, I don't want to use anything that will permanently  disable DX kb 
input. I want to be able to switch to DX "direct data mode" at anytime. For 
anyone that is currious, this is for the GUI library I am writing for 
ExoticaX.

Any suggestions are welcome.

later,
Lewis Townsend
