Hmmm...well, I guess because I don't know what that entails. I suppose I only
read/traced through enough of the code to do what I wanted :-> It's entirely
possible that there's a better way to do what want...

What is involved in defining a KbdintDevice, and how would it help? If 
it's better, I can do that.
