SHIFTkey "Fun"

[Richmond]

Try this rather simple exercise:

Make yourself a stack with 1 field called "OUTPUTX"

and put this into the card script:

on rawKeyDown RAWK
   put RAWK into fld "OUTPUTX"
end rawKeyDown

and play with the thing.

On Linux, when I press the SHIFTkey I get 65505; a similar sort of thing 
with Windows; but with Macintosh - nothing at all.

The same holds true for the ALT, CTRL, CAPS-LOCK and ALT keys. Why Mac 
is so bloody-minded I just don't know; but 'tis a big nuisance.

AND . . . there's the rub.
