Yes.  The DOS/Windows key-sequences are derived from the underlying
scancodes provided by the OS for the key.

  Keysym values greater than 1000 are reserved for applications.

  You are probably going to have a problem with many of these keys.
  There do not appear to be any standards regarding them--
  particularly the Ctrl key variants.  In fact, the terminfo and
  termcap databases contain no entries for them.
  
  Finally you may want to consider using the more powerful keymap
  interface of the slang library rather than the more limited 
  slkeypad interface.  The slkeypad interface is built on top of the
  slkeymap routines.
  
  Good luck,
