Chr$(135) and _Keyhit

[SMcNeill]

So I'm mostly just curious to learn why the different values for k& representing keys like Shift, Ctrl, and Alt (10034, 10036, 10038) respectively, all get converted to Chr$(0) + Chr$(135) with MKI$().

Thanks,

The simple answer here, I think, is overflow values.

INTEGER can only hold values up to 5 digits.   _KEYHIT returns 6-digit numbers.  You're going to overflow the bucket ya trying to cram yo numbers into, like that par'ner!
