Hi Ray,
I wrote a program for a Finnish user having trouble with their
keyboard a few weeks ago. I've cleaned it up as a demo for you, see
below.

w32HKeyPress and w32HKeyDown are constants that you use in setHandler
to associate routines with those events. It is describing the
parameter passed to the routines. See below, keycode=3Dparams[1] and
shift=3Dparams[2] at the start of keyboardEvent().
