For a game I am working on, I need to be able to read the keyboard
without having a window open. I already have a routine that intercepts
input events before intuition sees them, but before I write down the
code and qualifier for each key, I'd like to know if there is an easier
way, or if someone has already written it. While the game DOES multitask,
the current interface with intuition is a total kludge, and we are trying
to make it cleaner/more reliable.

-thanks in advance...
