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.
