rawKeyDown and key codes

[Paul Gabel]

Hi Ken & Bjoernke:

My deepest apologies to both of you. After staring at the computer  
screen all day, I just lost focus (a common excuse, but a good one).  
I was staring at the field and forgot to look at the message box. I  
will store your suggestions so I never have to ask again. Thank you.
