yep, i'm working on that
stupid questions:
do i have to gather & append key events into my array? your example just
sends the current event, so if i do option-key-whatever with multiple key
events will that work?
and do i need to release the array? you are just sending a new array to
interpretkeyevents & forgetting it
thanks,
bill
