   Are we to assume DOS and C then?
The BIOS keeps a record of the shift status at 0x00400017L.
int Rshift(void) {   return   1 & *((char*)0x00400017L;   }
int Lshift(void) {   return   2 & *((char*)0x00400017L;   }
int Ctrl(void)   {   return   4 & *((char*)0x00400017L;   }
int Alt(void)    {   return   8 & *((char*)0x00400017L;   }
int Scroll(void) {   return  16 & *((char*)0x00400017L;   }
int Num(void)    {   return  32 & *((char*)0x00400017L;   }
int Caps(void)   {   return  64 & *((char*)0x00400017L;   }
int Insert(void) {   return 128 & *((char*)0x00400017L;   }
if(Scroll() && Caps())
