Here's the magic incantations.

  1. In the startmovie script I put:
      set the exitLock = TRUE
      set the keyDownScript to "StdKeyDownScript"
    
  2. My StdKeyDownScript looks like:
    on StdKeyDownScript
      if commandDown = TRUE then
        if the key = "q" then
          DoMyQuit
        else if the key = "s" then
          DoMySave
        end if
      end if
    end
