I am storing the value in an ine, and printing it as an int, so 42 dec.  The
keys that are returning 2 42's are ones like thae arrow keys, insert, delete
and so on.  Maybe you could just direct me to source code or a tutorial
because I just kinds winged it, and I don't really know what I'm doing with
keyboard handlers.
