	The function keys also don't do anything (well, not much). I don't
know about KeyMac, but MacroMate (from RWP) requires an additional modifier
key (either Command or Option) in order to activate the macros - this means
that one can't activate a macro with a function key alone. It is possible to
get around this, but I don't have the time to write the program to do it at
the moment.

	Speaking of which... Is there a pseudo-keycode to make the ADB
microcontroller set the repeat bit? It would be nice to be able to send the
uController some keycode (like the ones for the modifier keystrokes, such as
Shift, Option, etc.), and have it set the repeat bit in $C025. Of course, if
it doesn't already exist, then it doesn't matter.
