Any idea why w32HKeyPress works correctly but not w32HKeyDown? The body 
of the handler procedure is identical to what you wrote (i'm sure you 
meant returnValue(-1) though) except instead of VJ_RETURN i just tested 
for 13. i know that had nothing to do with it so it must have been the 
event i was trapping.
