Did queryRegistry break?

[Mike Bonner]

One can use the shell to do this.. *get* shell("reg query
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KeyboardClass")

I used KeyboardClass because SERIALCOMM doesn't exist for me. (windows 10)
 but at least when i tried it I got back a helpful message telling me that
it doesn't exist.
