      Parameter 2       | Return Value (Parameter 1 is a key name)
     -------------------+------------------------------------------------+
      "key_modifiers"   | Integer     - A bit-encoded integer indicating
                        |               what key modifier or modifiers have
                        |               been used to create the VAXTPU key
                        |               name specified by the parameter
                        |               "key_name".  The correspondence
                        |               between integers and key modifiers
                        |               is as follows:
                        |                   1 -- SHIFT_MODIFIED
                        |                   2 -- SHIFT_CTRL
                        |                   4 -- SHIFT_HELP
                        |                   8 -- SHIFT_ALT
                        |               If the key has been modified by
                        |               more than one modifier, the integer
                        |               returned is the sum of the values
                        |               associated with the modifier.  For
                        |               more information about this call,
