I would like to express my interest in a posting of the above mentioned
items. I would like very much to be able to reset my SE from the keyboard,
if possible. I have an extended keyboard (I don't know if that matters here)
and the Reset key (i.e., the " <| " key) seems to be the only "functionless"
key here. I have tried to read its event value (as a "modifier" or as a
regular key) and have had no success.
Please post or e-mail Programmer's Key and, if anybody has specific infor-
mation as to how to trap the Reset/Power_On key, would they do the same?
Thank you all in advance.
