Ugh. This would be bad. I often use a "if the shiftkey is down" or an
"if the optionkey is down" in a mouseup handler to provide special
features. If you're right, this will no longer work for wireless
keyboard users.

I have no idea how to access the keyboard driver. :-(

Here's a thought. iPhoto uses the option-down key to change the
rotation icon from left to right. I just tried it and pressing the
optionkey by itself does, in fact, cause the button to change. So the
keyboard is obviously sending out the code. Why doesn't Revolution get
it?

Any other ideas?
