is there a better way to get the state of the keyboard than using keyUp and keyDown events? i need to know whether certain keys are down and when they come up, but sometimes the events don't post fast enough. where are the bits that i can watch? they must be in there somewhere... thanks for any help, :jeff fleabag@athena.mit.edu

The procedure you want to learn about is: PROCEDURE GetKeys (VAR theKeys:KeyMap); KeyMap is basically and array of Bits that represent the current keboard state. Your favorite Mac programming reference should be able to describe this who idea in more detail. It should be located in the chapter that discusses "The Toolbox Event Manager" in Inside Macintosh. I use "SpInside Macintosh", so I can't help you with page numbers. -Mike Darweesh weesh@crd.ge.com
