Ah, good.

The problem that I can see is that the comparison operators in the 
scripting system only deal with Number types.

I suppose someone could hunt around for how to add this to SymbolList 
or other enumerated types, but I have no idea how this would be done.

I think another (easy to do, but less well-integrated) solution would 
be to have a separate key notifier object that watches the keyboard 
events and triggers scripts in other Morphs.

Its display could be something like:

Key    Down/Up   RecipientName  script
----------------------------------------
<up>   Down      SomeMorph      goUp
<down> Down      SomeMorph      goDown
a      Down      SomeOtherMorph aWasHit
----------------------------------------
