Subject:RE: Midi contol codes

Claire, in a nutshell, it would have to be monophonic. You could, in
theory, write a lower level driver than the BIOS code that returns the
keystate, but I'm still not sure you'd be able to *accurately* detect more
than one key press (outside of shift/ctrl keys). It's been a long time
since I've written code on that level.
