scan code problem

to all:
I tried jvc's little test, and I get "break" when I press NumLock. However, I get nothing (ie: "others") when I press Pause|Break.
Just to try a variation on a theme, I rewrote the code as follws:

While Not KeyHit(1)

If KeyHit(69) ;num lock
Print "numlock is pressed!"
EndIf
If KeyDown(197) ;break
Print "break is pressed!"
End If

Wend

Now, I get the symptoms as described by jvc. So, what is going on? I have a generic keyboard, nothing special.

Has anyone else has tried this?
