Could anyone give some advice how to read the new ADB-keyboard. Inside Mac V 
gives some notes how to do that, but doesn't give any examples, as usuall!
I know there is the KeyTrans function but I haven't been very successful in
using it. I did try to combine a keycode variable from the virtual key code 
and modifiers but all i get from the result LONGINT the keytrans returns is
the ascii char <a >. A short stub of procedure for getting ascii chars from the
adbs would be great.
