What are the names for the keys?

-----------------------------------

I'm wondering, how do you find out the names for keys?
for example KEY_DOWN_ARROW and KEY_ENTER, but what are they for
a b c d e f g etc.
or is that just something like
if (variable name):"c" then 
put whatever

thanks

moved to turing help

as for the other letters...

var chars : array char of boolean
        Input.KeyDown (chars)
        if chars ('t') then
            put "The T key is pressed"
        end if

just use the letter itself... 'a','b','c'...

***This is a great program to run that shows about all the keys on the keyboard.*** 

i was given it from school


% The "KeyDown1" program.

% Note that depending on the keyboard's hardware, there may be a maximum
% of two keys + Shift + Control + Alt detectable at any one time.  This 
% should be remembered in multiplayer games where one player holding down
% two keys could prevent another player's keys from being detected.

% Note that many ASCII values are never generated.  Shift+A produces
% two characters: lower case a and Shift.

% The list of keys and their associated characters starting the characters
% with no visible representation.

-----------------------------------

if you have turing 4.0+ you can press f10, then click on the link that says "getch key codes" or something like that. handy dandy, much easier than running a program
