key pressed not recognized

Have R2012a running on Win7. When using the following script I don't seem to be able getting the key pressed recognized. Script works on other computers. Help appreciated.

function youPress(~,eventdata)

    if eventdata.Key== 'k' 
       beep
    elseif eventdata.Key== 'd' 
       beep beep beep
    end
end

Which kind of callback is this registered against, and which graphic object?

If you just comment everything out:

function youPress(~,eventdata)
disp('hello world')
%    if eventdata.Key== 'k' 
%  elseif eventdata.Key== 'd' 
%     beep beep beep
 % end
end

And then put focus on the figure and press a key, do you see 'hello world' printed?
