something a bit less complicated than the Allegro code might be better, 
I've written an entile gaming library (it is buggy though), with a 
built-in keyboard handler that handles more than 1 button at a time. 
you can download the source code from:

http://pheonixsoft.virtualave.net/grfx2.html

code is in C++ and meant to be used under DJGPP (it also converts 
scancodes into normal characters if you want it to.)
