   Good question, and one I do not know the answer to anymore. :-(

   All I know is that I once wrote a DOS program which used INT 16h (way before   
   Win95), and stopped working when I replaced the keyboard.   Some checking   
   showed that the old and the new keyboard returned different values for some   
   of the special keys (as I said, I'm not sure which ones anymore).

   Ehrm... no.  This is the first time I'm hearing about such a classification.   
   :-)   
      
   But you've made me curious, could you tell me/us what they are (like which   
   keys belong to each of those groups) ?
