Thanks -- it was an interesting puzzle

This is not a problem for those keys which are listed in iTouchcf.
Just set each key to do "Keystroke" with the "Name" set to what is
printed on the physical key. Then browse through all the \703\
keys UserName values and add them to your list matching a key
to its regkey.

For the others, its a game of exclusion and some testing.
Some you can guess from details in their values.

I had to find the right regkeys for LF5 to LF8
Mute, Vol Up, Vol Down, User/Sleep, Media and F Lock
and there was the same number of mystery regkeys.

I set all the unknown regkeys to do the Keystroke job
with a different SC-VK code each, then made a PowerPro hotkey for
each vk code with command: Debug VKnnn. Rebooted. Then watched
the Debug window while tapping each mystery key in turn.

It would do no harm if you accidentally disabled the F Lock
key's usual function for this short session. You can track
it down by what it shows in Debug, which will be in some key's
xx\703\ VirtualKey number. Then you know xx is the regkey
for the F Lock key and you can return it to its default values
before rebooting. Anyway, now we know F Lock is 399.

For most of those tested, you want to keep the Keystroke settings
you just made for the tests. You just need to fix your list to attach
each key's identity to its regkey number, which you do by seeing
what it sends to debug then find its regkey as described above.
That list should also show each key's new vk number in decimal
which is what you set as its PP virtual hotkey.

I can't remember whether I actually tested that, or just assumed
that it could lead to many events being triggered by one keypress.
Just an intuition that it would cause Trouble.
Please let us know of any experiments you do.
