OK, the function GetKeyNameText() is not accurate or useful then. It was
wonderful to think I could use this function to get the name of the key
(wasn't that the idea (Microsoft's)? That function should be removed
from the API! Any thoughts?

Anyways, I'll just use resource files and put in the name of the
function keys in English for all languages (CTL, ALT, PRINT SCR, ENTER,
+, etc). Any objections anyone?
