If it's actually the ASCII code, then it wouldn't be possible. I don't know much about how the computer actually deals with scan codes from the keyboard (whether the scan code is always the same and is processed with a shift flag or not; I'm accustomed to programming in the latter fashion), but if the data are actually stored with unique information that wouldn't require adding a few bits to store the shift state, then obviously it would work, so I assume that's what you mean. But ASCII codes it ain't. -- David W.
