There is an XFCN called InKey() which, when called in a handler such as 
idle or a repeat loop, will let you know which key was hit.  InKey() puts 
the  ASCii equivelent of the alphaNumeric character in "it".  It would be 
called as follows:

on idle
   get InKey()
   put it
   pass idle
end idle

As far as getting you the XFCN, I am unaware of the possibilities of 
sending files via NewsNet!!
