7 = Home, 8 = Up, 9 = PgUp, etc...

I believe this actually depends on the Numlock state, though... try it and
see (scan all numbers i from 0 to 127, checking the values of key[i], then
try holding down a few keys). I think readkey() returns unique values for
every key on the keyboard, presumably including the Alt keys.
