This is a really newbish question, but I can't find it in the Turing aid section (F10). Anyway, what is the name of teh W, A, S, and D key. Up is like this :
(KEY_UP_ARROW)

What is W, A, S and D's ID for calling?

var chars : array char of boolean
Input.KeyDown (chars)
if chars ('w') then
put "The W key is pressed"
elsif chars ('a') then
put "The A key is pressed"
end if

you'd obviously need to place that into a loop to work...

but A\V is right, alphanumeric keys are referred to by their character values.
