Found the problem:
1. created the site-packages/pyHook directory myself
2. moved the _pyHook.pyd, pHookManager.py, and example.py (CVS
version) into the pyHook directory.
3. created an empty __init__.py file.
4. ran the example from UltraEdit, which opens a wx frame.  If the
show dos box option is set, the program output is shown there.  Every
key and mouse press is displayed!

Cool.
Thank you to the developer.
