I always used the table in the back of the Basic manual I received with my PC. I have two or three of these little green books kicking around the house now. I believe (from checking my Norton Guides Turbo C++ Database] that the scancode is 00+6C or NULL+108. So check for a NULL, if it is, check for 108. If you get 108, you have an Alt-F5 (that's assuming I have my information correct. It sounds right but without testing... :). Carl Schelin tcs@mailer.jhuapl.edu
