Good grief, blush.
I started searching Apples developer web site and happened to fall
across something called autokeyevt. So I did a little more looking
and low and behold, there is an event for this. Its even listed in
the FB manual but in all the years of working in the event chain,
I've never seen it.
Hence to make my extension work, it required a MASSIVE one line change.
CASE _keyDwnEvt,_autoKeyEvt
Now it works fine, there's probably a faster way of reading out the
info rather than peek and poke but it works fine on my Powerbook G3
and with 8.6 yet. Actually FB works really well on it (I was kind of
surprised anything worked on 8.6 after a few friends upgraded to it
and told me nothing but horror tales).
Now my boring F12 key is a gleeful forward delete key...
