If you would like, you can use the code of my own keyboard handler.  (as
long, of course, as I'm mentioned somewhere for it)

It does the key up/down status, has a very easily-sizeable keystroke
buffer (default is 256 keys), shift/ctrl/alt handling, and above all, a
very LARGE character set.  (Alt-J and Ctrl-8 are as easily used as `t'
and `:' )

It also comes with GETCH(), KBHIT(), unGETCH(), and (of course)
(de)installation functions.

One thing I still need to add, though, is the ability to change the
repeat rate and first delay time.  (need info on the keyboard hardware,
though)
