I'd like to be a good boy and allow use of the F1-F4, page up, page down, help, and other "special" keys.  Am I correct in thinking that I have to:

1. Use SysEnvirons to test for the keyboard in use.
2. Use specific virtual key codes for that keyboard.

It would be nice to hear that there are magic character codes for these keys, so I could avoid this hardware-dependent stuff.  But if that's the case, I can't find it in IM or the tech notes.

Thanks.
