It occurs to me that since Pause is independent of keypressed, I could
actually us it as an extra modifier key if I wanted to...
"Pause-A" could be different than "A", and also different than "CRTL-A" or
"ALT-A", in fact I could do "Pause-CTRL-ALT-A" and have that be different than

Indeed you are correct, it is a very extensive console application which
uses PTCGraph. I do accept keyboard input on both the Console
