	I took a look at the DeadKeyConvert() routine in the Enhancer
Docs.... and I confess confusion as to how it is handled.  Since the dead
key is a separate RAWKEY event before the key-to-be-modified, how is this
handled by DeadKeyConvert() which takes a single packet?  There is no
explanation as to the contents of the IAddress field and why indirecting
through it causes the dead-key conversion routine to work.
