NO!

If you want the special keys (cursor, HELP, etc.) you MUST get RAWKEY
messages and process them with DeadKeyConvert().

If you don't care about the special keys, change "RAWKEY" in your program
to "VANILLAKEY".


I posted a complete ready-to-fly example to comp.sources.amiga.  It was
about a week or two that it showed up.  Find it, use it.

You won't need to use the console handler, just get the address of it.
Very straightforward.
See the source code for full details.
