[vtkusers] vtkRenderWindowInteractor::GetKeyCode()

[Matt Schmiermund]

I'm still having problems with the GetKeyCode function
in vtkRenderWindowInteractor. I have looked at the
other vtkInteractorStyles and I believe I am using the
function correctly. I have searched google with no
results and the docs for this class on the vtk website
are absolutly worthless. So I'm getting pretty
desperate here.
