 Name:         »AV_SENDKEY«

 Number:       0x4710

 Description:  Using this message a Client can send the AV-Server any 
               key events it may not use for itself.

                Parameter  Meaning

                WORD 3     Keyboard state (ev_mmokstate)

                WORD 4     Scan code of the pressed key (ev_mkreturn)

               As an unofficial extension ('CodeAlpha') there is a 
               concept that allows ASCII characters for which no 
               scancode exists to be passed as well. For this one 
               passes 0 for the scancode, the desired ASCII value and 
               in msg[5] the value $5048 (the latter to indicate that 
               msg[4] is indeed valid and that no conversion via the 
               scancode tables is required.

               This message should always be supported If possible, as 
               with its help trans-application window cycling can be 
               realised, for instance.
