er... Input.KeyDown should replace getch and it doesn't need to be in it's own process as long as it's in the loop.

just send the whole chars array... or go through it and generate a list of characters pressed, then send that if you want to save on some bandwidth (which is a good idea since turing is slow)

i think he means like declare a variable as an array, and then u can call them up when needed. i'm not too shure wut tony means either, lol. this is just a stab

ok here's a function that works with keydown and returns which character is pressed
code:
var chars : array char of boolean
function inputord (chars : array char of boolean) : int
    for i : chr (1) .. chr (255)
        if chars (i) then
            result ord (i)
        end if
    end for
    result - 1
end inputord
loop
    Input.KeyDown (chars)
    if inputord (chars) not= -1 then
        put inputord (chars)
    end if
end loop
