I can see the logic in that. I guess I should rewrite all of my
KeyPressedEvent functions into separate scripts for each key checked. But I
still have two questions:
1. How do you assign scripts to keys like; Enter, Spacebar, Delete and
Backspace?
2. Is it possible to prevent the key from getting to the application short
of creating a hook for all keys? What event/internal function passes
keystrokes to the application?
