I would like to solicit some help in understanding how to write an InputEvent handler using the keyboard and/or input device. What I am struggling with is how to map the ie_Code and ie_Qualifier into the keymap to obtain an ASCII string. I want to use the default keymap, and I assumed there was an easy way to do this. Is this a bad assumption? I was unable to find any functions or device commands to do this. I read that the console device can be used without a Intuition window. I also found a console function which would do what I want (RawKeyConvert). Unfortunately, I didn't understand how to obtain an InputEvent list to pass to RawKeyConvert(). Am I supposed to install this function using the "input" device? Any help would be appreciated, espcially from someone who has had experience using these drivers. Thanks, Mark Millard email: sun!mcrware!markm phone: 515-294-1929

You can submit this input event to RawKeyConvert directly and you get ANSI sequences. Works well. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Martin Taillefer INTERNET: martin@pnt.CAM.ORG BIX: vertex UUCP: uunet!philmtl!altitude!pnt!martin TEL: 514/640-5734
