I see that this conversation took a nasty turn while I was on vacation. msvcrt.getch works with consoles. If you have an application where stdin and stdout are connected to a real, live console window (which looks just like a command line window), then msvcrt.getch will work. If not, then you have to use the Windows APIs. GetKeyboardState and GetKeyState can tell you if a specific key is currently being pressed. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
