Peter,
You only get one rawKeyDown, followed by one keyDown.
The message watcher, which usually floods with events every time you breathe,
shows nothing at all for any of the four control keys on a Mac.
At the risk of looking like a 4 year old: Why?

Richmond,
I don;t know if this helps your application or not but the dictionary says
that on Macs those keys don't result in rawkeydow, UNLESS another key is
pressed at the same time. Not sure if you then get 2 rawkeydown events or
what.

Try this rather simple exercise:
Make yourself a stack with 1 field called "OUTPUTX"
and put this into the card script:
on rawKeyDown RAWK
put RAWK into fld "OUTPUTX"
end rawKeyDown
and play with the thing.
On Linux, when I press the SHIFTkey I get 65505; a similar sort of thing
with Windows; but with Macintosh - nothing at all.
The same holds true for the ALT, CTRL, CAPS-LOCK and ALT keys. Why Mac is
so bloody-minded I just don't know; but 'tis a big nuisance.
AND . . . there's the rub.
