For upkey and downkey you can use upkey() and downkey() instead of scancode(). In such a small piece of code, its hard to make it easier, and efficiency isnt really a factor.

I would be unstoppable if I could just get started...

when its in my main code I some times press a key but there is no respons from the code it just sit there untill I press the key again.

This is way I am asking is there a better way of checking for a key press. it's for scrolling through text on the screen but I don't want it to fly pass. just one data line at a time.

Try testing for keystate( 200 ) and ( 208 ) rather than scancode. Something like:

if keystate( 200 ) = 1
do whatever
endif
