Richard,

This works as expected on my machine (Mac OSX, 10.2.8) -- all keycodes 
come through and the optionKey is correct when up and down.

on rawKeyDown whichKey
   put "raw key " & whichKey && the optionKey
   pass rawKeyDown -- same with or without this
end rawKeyDown

Are you sure you don't have an init installed that is grabbing certain 
keystrokes?
