Right Shift Key doesn't work for String Input

[David McFarlane]

Teresa (or teresa),

Stock reminder:  1) I do not work for PST.  2) PST's trained staff 
takes any and all questions at 
http://support.pstnet.com/e%2Dprime/support/login.asp , and they 
strive to respond to all requests in 24-48 hours (although current 
estimates are more like 10 days) -- this is pretty much their 
substitute for proper documentation, so make full use of it.  3) If 
you do get an answer from PST Web Support, please extend the courtesy 
of posting their reply back here for the sake of others.

That said, here is my take...

Hmm, wonder if this results from EP using raw DirectX Virtual Key 
Codes instead of the "cooked" ASCII codes -- this behavior can 
actually be put to good use, as in the "Differentiate Left and Right 
Shift/Alt Keys" in the Samples section of the PST web site.  That 
does not help you though, don't know how to get your right-shift 
working in the way you like.  What happens if you try EP on another machine?
