Well, I just tried this:

Opened up my trial stack with the Bulgarian keyboard layout:

now when I press the key that should give me '?' I get something else.

This is because rawKeyDown gives you the underlying key, not what is
specified by your keyboard layout; and as Windows XP and Mac are made
in North America, the underlying key is the standard USA key.

HOWEVER . . .

on keyDown QUAY
  put QUAY into fld "PROB"
end keyDown

will do what you want it to.

Love, Richmond.
