    Hi guys I only was wandering what I have to do to simulate the moon and sun keys in my keyboard if I don't have it. Is there an equivalence if you don't have these keys in your keyboard? Doc

          well I have to say I too was wondering what keys you were talking about. There is no sleep/wake keys on my keyboard - I had one that did (but there was no moon or sun on them) and I got rid of it as fast as I could find another without them - they should be banned. Nearly had a heart attack first time my computer suddenly turned itself off and I had no idea why... I'd accidently hit Sleep. Horrible things. And if you can't ask clear questions you can't expect the answer you want. Phil

The US, and despite having used keyboards since the ASR33 Teletype was considered state of the art, I've never seen a sun or moon key on any of them. But since you've clarified the meaning of your original post, such functionality is implemented in the keyboard driver software that is installed with the device. You could write a new driver for your keyboard, but it may be possible to write an application to intercept keycodes before Windows processes them and execute your own custom instructions for specific codes. A simple keyboard input scanner will help you to determine which keycodes to look for. Boredom, Bull$^%&, Baggage, Bar - all start with 'B'
