I'm using KEYFAKE.COM (written by Charles Petzold) to initialize various
programs that I use, but I'm having trouble using it with Microsoft Word.  
If you're a user of Word, then you know that the ESC key toggles between
the input area and the menu area.  I would like Word to go immediately
to the menu area upon starting and execute certain commands; however, 
I can't get KEYFAKE to execute the initial ESC sequence.  Has anyone
gotten KEYFAKE to simulate pressing the ESC key.  BTY, I tried decimal 27, but
that won't work; it just produces a left arrow on the screen.
