Hi,
I'm looking for the way to detect that a user hit the keys up and down
(arrows)

I do it with the function _bios_keybrd in bios.h

If I use _NKEYBRD_READ as command of the bios function what value should I
test for it ? when I test it with a small example

unsigned char c=_bios_keybrd(_NKEYBRD_READ);
printf("%d",c);

when a down or up are hit only 224 came as value ... but what I want is to
do the difference between those 2 keys ...

I can use getch but the fact that the value is 0+value to determine which
key is pressed and it didn't work so well ...

Any help would be appreciated,
and sorry for my bad english ...

Florent.
