Was wondering if that would be the case. how would I do this? Guess, it would 
have been nice, first of all, to constuct a script, that simply reads, whatever 
keystrokes are made, and displays the results on the screen. A kind of 'which 
key is pressed' script. That would have been helpful in several projects, I do 
believe. Anyone have the idea, and the will of making such a script? or, maybe 
just a bit of code, that would get me started. 

thanks again,

  Hi David,

  I don't know the answer to your question, but, when I looked at the remote 
control which came with my laptop for multimedia use, when I press it's keys 
they get translated as keystrokes from my keyboard, as if I had pressed various 
keys.  you may not have to do anything except figure out which keystrokes are 
being used.

  Subject: Keystrokes from another unit


  I know, that there is a way to have a script 'read' the keystrokes on your 
keyboard. But it seems, there is no definitions for reading keystrokes from 
another unit. Why I am asking, is that I want to script functionality for my 
Remote control, and also would be great, to use my joystick, as a navigation 
tool. First I got hooked on to the keystrokes from the unit, the interpretation 
and actions, whouldn't be that complicated. Anyone knows, how to get hold of 
the information, as to which key - on another unit but the keyboard itself - 
can be retrieved? Working in VBS at the moment, but if there is other languages 
that has a greater access to input units, I am willing to consider taking my 
project into that language.
