Simulate key pressed (arrow key)

You need a rawKeyDown handler to determine what keycodes are sent by the
arrow keys.  I put this in the card script, then pressed the up arrow.

on rawKeyDown theKeyNumber
    put theKeyNumber
    pass rawKeyDown
end rawKeyDown

It returned 65362.  Then I made a button containing:

on mouseUp
    rawKeyDown 65362
end mouseUp

You will need to handle what happens in the rawKeyDown script if
theKeyNumber is 65362, etc.
