[GreenKeys] Keyboard Problem On My 28-RO

[tony.podrasky]

Noooooooo - that won't work:

A loop works in the other way:

When the key is closed, it is not sending.

When the key is opened, it sends a BIT.

I'm really disappointed in this group: I'm getting nothing
but useless ideas and bad advice!

OH - and the toggle switch in the middle of the keyboard :-)
is used to turn on a florescent light (low profile) that is
attached to the front inside of the wooden enclosure it is in so that
I can see what is printing - because the 28-RO is sitting on a
plant stand on the floor. [really: it's under the operating
station desk).
