Anyone know why rawkeydown reports 223 when pressing the "$" key on a  
Swiss French keyboard on Windows? After the $ character is entered  
then the Revolution field reports that the character number is 36 but  
that isn't much help if you are trying to filter input. On Mac the  
same keyboard layout reports 36 in rawkeydown.

I've tested on Windows XP running under VMWare Fusion and OS X 10.5.
