All this talk about the whys and wherefores of RAWKEY has
seriously confused me so I'm going to ask a direct question:

I want to know when the key that is in the position that
the 'A' key normally is in (I don't care if the guy's using
DVORAK or whatever the position is what's important) goes
down and when it goes up.  That's all.  I don't want any
escape sequences.  I don't want any accents.  I only want
to know about the current state of the 'A' key.  I don't
care (in fact I prefer) if I stop getting messages when my
window isn't active.

Can I use the code field from an intuition RAWKEY directly without
commiting a cardinal programming sin?  If no then what the #@$!%
am I supposed to do?

	Somebody talk to me  (any subject will do :-) )
