	You can open a console device without openning a console device.
That is, without specifying a window (see RKM).  With this 'dummy'
console device you can use CD_ASKDEFAULTKEYMAP to get the default keymap.

	RawKeyConvert() is a function in the CONSOLE.DEVICE LIBARARY
VECTORS and thus you need to have an open console device to use it.
