   Check for the keys you want, and update the cursor position from it.   
      
   Warning: "BIOS scan codes" are *not* neccessarily the same for all   
   keyboards, specifically not for "special keys".  Meaning that your program   
   could be working on one 'puter, but not on another (because of a different   
   keyboard). Been there, done that, learned a lesson. :-)

   P.s.   
   The above is straigt from Ralf Brows interrup list (like you can get here:   
   http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ralf/files.html ). You could do worse than to dowload   
   them.
