Hello Chris,

Thanks for the reply.

Thats the trouble, according to the Documentation that I have, it doesn't 
work that way. get_kb_buffer_data() has 2 parameters, event and key. event 
is the element of the buffer; ok there. the "key" is the key press you are 
looking for, so you have to know what you are looking for, you just cant ask 
it to return what it has. The return value is just true or false: true if 
you guessed the right key, false if that key isn't in that event. Again, 
this is just according to the docs and I assume its correct. ?

I guess I could experiment with the function and do stuff like pass 0 or -1 
to "key" and see if get_kb_buffer_data() will return a key code rather than 
just a true 1 or false 0.

later,
