[comp.sys.atari.st] evnt_keybd

jwd@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu (Jon Dunn) (07/28/89)

This may be a dumb question, but how to I convert the scan code
returned by the AES evnt_keybd() function to an ASCII code?
Thanks!

Try masking out the higher byte of the integer that is returned. Or
you can try casting the integer to a char. The resulting byte should
be the ASCII code.
