The event mask in used in WNE is ORed with the global event mask. That's 
why, even though you may specify 'everyEvent' as your mask, you will NOT 
get 'keyUp' events. They are still ORed out by the global mask. So you 
need to change the global event mask. I'll look it up later, and let you 
know how to do so.
