Well, you can do anything with XCMDs; but from within HyperTalk itself trapping keystrokes is --er--difficult. You CAN trap control-key combinations by using the handler "on controlKey var" where "var" is the number of a particular key; this method, however, works only on Apple Desktop Bus keyboards; the other types don't have control keys. If the machines you're writing for all use one of the ADB keyboards, let me know and I'll send you more details on trapping control keys.
