Well I wasn't too interested in converting them to up or down 
keystrokes because I need to write C code for that. What if you did 
that in the image somewhere? Besides my thought was that if really 
want the raw data to do something else with that could be more 
intresting than scrolling then it's easier if you have the raw data 
about.
