I know the article is OLD as the hills, and it refers to the Amiga computer.

Nevertheless it explains how rawKey signals work.

Now I do not suppose that the Macintosh computer is so vastly different 
from other
computers that these sort of signals are not sent by the modifier keys; 
after all,
if they did not we would have a tough time typing a capital "F"!
