   Key Scan Code for BPW7

   Hi,   
      
   I am trying to compile a program using the BPW7 compiler and am having   
   trouble getting it to recognise the arrow keys, page up, page down, home   
   and end keys.   
      
   I wrote the program for DOS many years ago and want to move it to   
   Windows. The compiler has the target set as Windows Application. I have   
   had to simplify it somewhat because many of the functions I used as a   
   Real Mode application did not work, but the program in question requests   
   information and then uses the PgDn key to continue to the next screen.   
   Also the other editing keys are used within each screen.   
      
   At the moment, the only keys that allows me to move between the fields   
   on screen and in a field are the Enter key and Backspace key, but I   
   cannot find out how to use the other editing keys.   
      
   I have searched the Internet and help files and got a few snippets of   
   code but while they recognise every other character on the keyboard, the   
   extended keys are not recognised (editing keys and function keys).   
      
   Any pointers on how to read these extended keys? I am using WinXP Pro.   
      
   Thanks.
