Well, the problem was that stellar Dev Env XCode 4.2 ... it quit writing NSLog 
out put to the degugger console ... so since I did not see my log of 'keydown" 
I thought it was not being called ... yeah I am stupid for not setting a break 
point but I don't wear a belt with suspenders either.

I love xc 4.2 , my productivity ha skyrocketed since switching!
