Is there a way to handle ActionListeners (like KeyListener) without 

having to link it to a frame or something ? Clearly, just to handle 

events in Max ? I got a good starting point but do not know how to say : 

begin to listen. My KeyEvent implements KeyListener class is at the end 

of my mxj class, fine, but how do i say, in my main mxj code, now launch

No. It needs to be attached to something capable of having focus in

If you can report the issue with more specifics, then perhaps we can 

look into. It might not support special keys like "launch explorer" 

buttons, but perhaps we can get other keys working. No promises, 

however. Otherwise I'd recommend you approach this problem in C,
