Even if you do get a scan code from SHOW KEY it won't necessarily be
accepted by SET KEY. Case in point:
[C:\] C-Kermit>show key<CR>
Press key: {Press Shift PageUp}
Key code \841 => Undefined
[C:\] C-Kermit>set key \841 ?Invalid: set key \841
[C:\] C-Kermit>set key _
After pressing the 1 in 841 the error message is displayed.
There are other key-combo/scan codes for which happens as well. There is
a work around though. I have found that by converting the scan code to
hexadecimal it will be accepted by SET KEY (e.g. SET KEY \x349 \Kscnup).
This is for C-Kermit 5A(191) for OS/2 (I'm running version 3.0 on an IBM
PS/2 Model 77).
