[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] on keyDown whichKey ?

   I had a question on HC's ability to detect keypresses.... I need to check
   for kepresses on the numeric keypad vs the duplicate keys on the keyboard.
   It seems that the KeyDown message doesn't contain a key code mapped for
   the specific key just the ascii value.  Am I missing something, or is this
   just a weak function ?  If it is lame, is there an xcmd that remedies this
   situation ?

   While I'm at it, would it be possible to add keystilldown and keyup msgs ?
