The solution: get a new keyboard.

On a whim, I replaced the keyboard (which apparently works fine) on the XP
machine, and the keysDown function now works. [sigh]

Many thanks to folks who offered alternate script solutions and who verified
behavior of the test stack on Windows -- this helped me track down the
problem.
