In regard to caps lock requiring a press and release for 'key down' and another
press and release for a 'key up', on the KEYBOARD screen of Sonix 2.0, you
can define the caps lock key as a note.  Then whenever you press it, you get
a note out of the speakers.  Wouldn't that indicate that Sonix is reading each
press and release of the caps lock as a 'key down/key up' pair?  Sonix seems
to treat the caps lock like any regular key... I am not an Amiga programmer
and I have no real experience with keymaps; there may be something I am
missing here.
