DO
CLS
Print Scancode()
LOOP

When running this code - press the desired key and a number will print. Then, use that number in the KEYSTATE command. Example

If keystate(16)=1 then END

If you press "Q" then END.

Everyone does it the hard way!

Here are all the key constants, straight from the DirectX help files.

Just use them like this:

You can either look for the constants DIK_F? in the code I posted above, or look at CTP's piccy.
