According to the WINN ROSCH HARDWARE BIBLE the make code for the pause
key is E1 1D E1 9D C5.  The Pause key apparantly does not generate a
break code.  (according to the tables in the book, the Pause key is
the only one that does not generate a break code - telling the bios
that it has been released - the make code tells the bios that the key
has been pressed , the break code tells it that the key has been
released).  It seems that any break code will release the pause key
:).
Hope this helps.
