Hey Jonas, Do you have any key definitions for Shift combinations? The only Shift combinations in KEYS.H are for Shift-Function-Keys. I'd like to trap Shift-Movement-Keys like Shift-LeftArrow, Shift-UpArrow, etc. Thanks, Danny…

Danny, << key questions… >> I forwarded your question to the developers and their answer was: "Hey — the guy's a programmer– All he has to do is write up a simple application in IPAS that reads the keyboard and displays the keycode. Press the keys you're interested and write down the keycodes, then add them to the key header file."

According to a message thread from a couple of days ago; "When you're not sure that your response is as calm as you'd like, count to ten…" Here goes… 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 OK. Thanks Jonas, I'll write my own routines. (Like I haven't got anything better to do!) Danny…

Danny, << 10,9,…1… >> The Yost Group can only do so much for me when I ask for a favor. This is the fine line between the Yost Group as contractors and Adesk who support IPAS. I'll forward your request now to Carey. Maybe he can get Kieth to write you some code since it's in their interest. I'd suggest that you call Carey up after 9:00 a.m. and I'll make sure that he's caught up by then regarding this issue. Sorry that you had to do the count… 🙁

I apologize Jonas. I had no idea that this kind of stuff came from the Yost Group. I can appreciate how busy they must be. I've spoken to Carey and Kieth has written something for me. Strange thing is, there doesn't seem to be a keycode for Shift-Arrowkey combinations! Weird huh? Anyway, I was WAY too tense when I sent that reply to you. Again, I apologize. You've been nothing but helpful to me and I appreciate everything you're doing for us developers and for forumites in general. Talk to you soon, Danny…
