Help

Hello,
Can someone help my science class by making a program to display the keyboard keys ? Example: press the key for an eight (8) and it displays an 11 this can then be used with onkey command. The kids want to control motors in qbasic by pressing the keys on the key board.

check out something called 'inkey' or '$inkey' don't remember which it's called

Check the help for on key though personally I prefer
doing it myself -- something like

while char$<>chr$(27)
a$=""
while a$="":a$=inkey$:wend
select case asc(left$(a$,1))
case 0 'control keys (up/down insert,etc)
.
.
case 8 'backspace
.
case 13 'CR
.
case 27 'esc
char$=chr$(27)
case else
if len(a$)=1 then
char$=a$
else
.
end if
end select
wend
