Doug, Valid point. However, for my purposes, using strKeyName is more cumbersome. I have a delimited list of desired keypresses, and then compare this list with the user's key presses, which are also stored in a delimited list. I then need to compare the 2 lists. For the particular set of evaluations that I'm executing, comparing the 2 lists is much easier when dealing with numerical constants. For the painful details, I can write you off list if you like.
