I am writing a game using TP5.5 and need to
be able to tell which keys were pressed if
more than one key was pressed at the same time.

Example

8: is jump
6: move left
space: fire

if a person is holding down the 6 key to move left
and hits the 8 key to jump at the same time, then 
the keyboard buffer willl change from telling you
that 6 is pressed and tell you that 8 is pressed.

Now the problem is that as long as you continue to
hold down the 6 key, it will continue to tell you
that the 8 key is being pressed.
   
     Any ideas out there????
