I've just realized that my keypress event also traps for Ctrl-Home and Ctrl-End to position me at the first or last record in the file. Unfortunately, Ctrl-W and Ctrl-End have the same key code (23).
My problem should no longer say thet keypress can't see a Ctrl-W. It looks like the only answer might be to educate users to no longer use Ctrl-W as a "save" key.
