Several possible solutions:

1.	Use Unicode instead of ASCII and define private characters  
for special keys
2.	Assocate strings with the event and generate an equivalent  
escape-sequence
	(you still know that it was a single key because it comes in  
one event)
3.	You still have the raw keyboard code...

AFAIK, MacOS-X/Cocoa does all of these at the same time.
