They seem indeed to have forgotten this! By experimenting a
little with CodeView and KbdCharIn I have come to the
conclusion that the correct #define should be
#define EXTENDED_CODE 0x0002
and it should be inserted in bsesub.h just after the definition
of SHIFT_KEY_IN. Can anybody confirm this?

Btw, these #defines are under the KBDTRANS structure, which leads
me to believe that the documentation of the KBDTRANS structure
might be wrong. There is no word about EXTENDED_CODE there...
