milosd,<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It depends on what OS you are using. In DOS the functions are<i> _bios_keybrd</i> or <i>bioskey</i>. For Windows the function is <i>keybd_event</i>. <br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you are interested in one of the DOS functions, post a request on this thread and I'll post some more information. If you are looking for the Windows function, your best bet is to go to <A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> and look at their FAQ (I think it is #77). They are fairly involved so I won't put the info here unless you request it.<br><br> <p>James P.
