Is someone able to tell me how I could make the keyboard more =
responsive?
In most games that I've seen, if you hold down a key it doesn't trigger =
once,
then wait, then fire off at a certain frequency. Am I correct in =
thinking that the
OS has something to do with this, and that there is a simple trick for =
stopping
it happening?
Thanks,
Aidan.

I know only about dos, but in dos you can configure the pause and
the repeat rate as you like it. Use the dos mode command. There is
a help for it, at the dos prompt, type:
help mode

Following a suggestion from Todd Riggin's, under windows you can call=20
the functions in the user32.dll, like GetASyncKeyState.
Just do a little library of the functions you need using the windows=20
header as a guide. If you need an example let me know.
Oh...and I'm sure win32lib includes windows keyboard support
