I have seen several programs that have installed some kind of "hotkey"

the Win32::GUI docs only appear to work when the program's window is active.
How have these other programs done this? Just a pointer to the correct
call would would be enough to keep me quiet for another week.. honest :)
The only way I am aware of for a thread to see keystrokes when that
thread does not have a window that has focus is using
SetWindowsHookEx(). If you manage to get it working, then I'd be
interested in seeing a solution.
