From keyboard interrupt to keydown event...

Hello all,

We are curious about how soon or how late the keydown
event fires from the time that the keyboard interrupt
is generated when a user presses a key.

We need a way to grab the character as soon as the
interrupt is generated in order to capture the ascii
value before any other keyboard sniffing programs can
snatch it. Ideally we need to capture the value and
change it to another value.

I don't think this is possible from an internet browser
standpoint (within vbscript, javascript, etc). This is
more of a interrupt handling issue that is probably
better handled by an executable. Even at an executable
standpoint, I must insure that my handler is first in
the queue to snatch the event.

Any ideas, suggestions, comments, etc.
