The actual name of the function is RawKeyConvert, which is called by opening the console.device and using the Device vector as a library base (which, of course, it is) by copying the (initialized) io_Device to the variable ConsoleDevice. This is documented in the new 1.3 Libraries and Devices RKM on page 662. There is a full example using this function on page 194 in the Intuition: Mouse and Keyboard section of the same manual.
