I am currently using VANILLAKEYs through the IDCMP to get key codes to use;
however, I now need to receive cursor keys, etc.  Has anyone out there used
the IDCMPs RAWKEY and done a RawKeyConvert on it?  If so, would you please
post or send me a code fragment that sets up as much of the console device as
is necessary and does a call to RawKeyConvert.  Any help here would be
appreciated.

Also, I can't seem to find where GetKeyMap is defined in the 1.1 manuals...
RawKeyConvert seems to be a new 1.2 function, is GetKeyMap also?

By the way, does anyone else hold the oppinion that the AmigaDOS manuals are
the worst of the bunch?  It's nearly impossible to find anything in there
without reading much superfluous info.  This is mainly due to the lack of
a reasonable index and partly due to poor organization.

	Thanks muchly,
