I'm looking for a program that I could call from my startup sequence
that would check the status of a certain mouse button or keyboard key
and would take action if the given button or key were depressed.

My goal is to set up my 2000 so I can hold down a button or key and
have it go straight into a certain mode (such as A-Max or whatever)
if I hold that button down, but if I do nothing, it will go to workbench
by default.

I realize if I knew C better I could write a little program to do this,
but I don't.  If anyone has a simple solution, could they post it here?
Even a short bit of C source would be great - I'd just copy it into
my editor and compile it here.   (I have Lattice 5.04).

If this can be done with a script (I don't think it can, but wouldn't
mind being proven incorrect) could someone post an example?

                                       Thanks,

                                                            Kurt
