The actual name of the function is RawKeyConvert, which is called by
opening the console.device and using the Device vector as a library
base (which, of course, it is) by copying the (initialized) io_Device
to the variable ConsoleDevice.  This is documented in the new 1.3
Libraries and Devices RKM on page 662.

There is a full example using this function on page 194 in the
Intuition: Mouse and Keyboard section of the same manual.
