Now that I understand what you are asking, I do not believe it is possible for any application level program to intercept OS system-wide keystrokes like print screen, scroll lock, or the Windows Start menu key. This is because the OS itself intercepts these types of keystrokes before they are passed on to any application. It would be a pretty poor OS that let one application hijack these keystrokes and deny them to the OS itself. When I say it's not possible, I mean it's not possible for an application level program to do this. There are special DLLs called rootkits that can do this. But, with a few legitimate exceptions, they are also generally known as viruses. ;-) I think you will have to settle for the backdrop property of rev.
