[WT-support] Caps Lock- ASCII code

[kd4d at comcast.net]

Hi Clive:

Could your function want a key code instead of an ASCII character?  There isn't
an ASCII character for "CAPS LOCK."

Keyboards send Scan Codes to the computer.  The Key Code
for CAPS LOCK is defined in Microsoft's specification as

key location	101/102 Enhanced Keyboard	scan 1 make	scan 1 break	scan 2 make	scan 2 brake

30	Caps Lock	3A	BA	58	F0 58

The software may want a Scan 1 code.  See

or

Could some guru please tell me what the ASCII code is for the Caps Lock key?

I'm fooling around with the new API

wtApp:SendKeyCode()

and can send all sorts of stuff, e.g. <tab> successfully but just can't find a valid reference on line for the Caps Lock key which I want to try out.
