	You can move the ADB keyboard to another device number, then
	set up your own completion routine to handle the key events.  You
	will then get the down and up transition of each key.  You then
	post each event with a SendInfo call to the ADB tool set using
	the keyCode command.  This is all documented in chapter 3 of Volume
	1 of the tool box references.  If you would like some example code,
	then email me with your address and I will get it to you.
