#1502 SysGetKey returns wrong value for back-tab

[Nic Clouston]

To process a back-tab sysgetkey is called twice - the first call returns x'00' and the second call should return x'0f'. This is per Object Rexx for OS/2. However, it does not return the extended keycode but the first call simply returns the code for a forward tab. This is OORexx 4.2 and the RegUtils used by Regina. This was reported back in 2004 (I think - see comp.lang.rexx) and Patrick MacPhee said that it was a bug and he would patch it and release it but this does not appear to have been done.

Nic, are you trying to open a bug against RegUtils?
We're not supporting RegUtils here

No. Although the bug is also in RegUtils I am using the RexxUtil as per
chapter 8 of the OORexx rexxref pdf.
