#VK_SLEEP constant missing ?

Hello,
I'm in the process of making a collection of definitions for several key constants, like raw codes (scancodes) and virtual-key codes, in order to have standard names for all the languages I use (mainly PureBasic and BlitzBasic, but also VB.NET) and I've noticed that #VK_SLEEP and #PB_Shortcut_Sleep constants are missing. Is there a reason for that ?

what should sleep be? do you mean Pause?

#VK_PAUSE and #PB_Shortcut_Pause are there...

Thanks for reply. I don't know what it should be, but it isn't the same as 'Pause' as they have different definition codes:

VK_PAUSE (0x13)
PAUSE key

VK_SLEEP (0x5F)
Computer Sleep key

add them into the "missing API constants" thread.
