SCANCODE.COM does about the same thing, but requires no batch file,
and should work fine with 4DOS.

If SCANCODE is entered without any parameters, it acts like a CHOICE
type program and returns an errorlevel equal to the scan code of the
first key(or key combination) pressed.

If SCANCODE -? (or /?) is entered on the command line, SCANCODE enters
a display mode, and displays the scan code all key combinations that
have a scan code.  Pressing the <Esc> key exits display mode.
