I think you can use KeyDown for this, but you must also trap the 
corresponding KeyUp event, plus its not just a matter of calling 
returnValue(-1) either. You have to get Windows to ignore the keystroke by 
some other method. The KeyPress is a lot easier. You can also get KeyPress 
to substitute alternate values. This is a neat way of forcing uppercase, 
for example.

  x= find(parms[1], LowerCaseChars)
  if x then
     returnValue( UpperCaseChars[x] )
  end if
