[jawsscripts] Assigning a Script to Include the PrintScreen Key

Is it possible to assign a keystroke combination to a script that includes the 
PrintScreen key?  When I create a script using the new script dialog and assign 
it to the combination Alt + PrintScreen, it will create the following line into 
the keymap file:
Alt+PrintScreen=OCRSnapshot
The function works fine if I give it a normal assignment such as 
Control+Shift+O.  However, if I include the PrintScreen key into the mix from 
the dialog or directly editing the keymap file, the script is not activated.  

Is this key off limits for some reason?  If so, why will the dialog enter the 
key name into the assignment field?  Is it possible to force this assignment?
