That's why I said "in widespread use". ;-)

Well, you know, it's not like I'm trying to do anything complex. A few
trivial cut/paste operations is all. But noooooo, that would be too
useful...

BackupExec does not "give" it to you at all. It displays it in screen
for you, and lets you print it, but it won't let you "have" the
underlying file at all. (Although it does tell you that this log is file
38H4G28JHQ83BH94EH.XML if you're interested.)

On a desktop it is possible, for a laptop a bit more difficult, although
you can always plug in a usb keyboard... No, come to think about it, it
should on all systems be possible. Only I would expect that it would
take at least 5 generations for MS to get right. If on Vista it already
works that could be an indication that MS has changed it's testing
procedures. That reminds me that on this Vista system the exceptions
during filecopy also finally are handled in a useful way. Something
fishy going on. Anybody knows more?

And in what sense is that not letting you have the underlying file?

You've never heard of remote logins? (Altho I don't know at which end of
the protocol the translation is done.)
I'm more familiar with chinese input mechanisms than french keyboards. You
can imagine how it would be difficult to log in with a password in chinese
if you didn't have the appropriate input drivers available from the login
screen.

One would *hope* RDP transports character codes, not scancodes. (But,
knowing M$...)

Hmm. I don't want to know why you know that...

Ah yes, that's the Really Fun Thing(tm). What happens if you have an
English PS/2 keyboard and an American USB keyboard plugged in at the
same time? The answer: No matter what keymap you select, one or other of
the keyboards will malfunction. Isn't that wonderful?
