Yes, but will this work on the 2000's?  There are some commercial
games that I know of that work on 500's, 1000's, but not on the
2000's.  To me it seems that this is due to using RAWKEY, but I may be wrong.

How would someone go about getting the physical key location without
using VANILLAKEY but still be portable to the new machines?  A common 
key grouping (hjkl) could end up very awkward to someone with a usa2 keymap.
