yet another really simple question

[Andre Garzia]

Charles,

there's probably a wiser way to do it than the one I'll tell you now.  
Put all your key handling functions in a button, use the button as  
frontscript, it will trap everything, remember to pass the messages  
to the rest of the message path or your keys will stop working.

cheers
andre
