Below is what the FSDN says about the GetKeyState function.  You need to 
define two integer variables to act as parameters 2 and 3; the function 
fills in their values when it runs, according to the state of the key you 
are looking at.

Function: GetKeyState
Description
Returns by reference both the up/down state of the key, and the toggle state
if applicable. NumLock, ScrollLock, and CapsLock have toggle states.

Jackie, is there a way to get JAWS to speak the status of modifier keys like
Control, Alt, and the Windows key.
