In response to the following :
Greetings,
        Can anyone help me figure the best way to be able to use the numberic
keypad as input for a small calculator stack I have written that was originall
designed for all mouse input?  I figure if there is no way to trap keypresses,
I could put true into BlindTyping (English immitates HyperTalk) and
 get the
messagebox from within an idle script.  This may work, but it sounds very
interfering.  I was only using HC 1.0 until a few days ago so the answer might
be obvious but help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jason

There is an XCMD around that does just this.  I believe I have a copy.
If there is interest, I will post it, or E-mail it (if I can find it).
