If you are using a Unix terminal it will be diffeent to using a Mac or a PC. You can write a program to display the key code of any key using curses on *nix or msvcrt on Windows. Here is an example from my web tutor under the Event Driven Programming topic... import msvcrt def doKeyEvent(key): if key == '\x00' or key == '\xe0': # non ASCII key = msvcrt.getch() # fetch second character print ord(key), def doQuitEvent(key): raise SystemExit # First, clear the screen of clutter then warn the user # of what to do to quit lines = 25 # set to number of lines in console for line in range(lines): print print Hit space to end... print # Now mainloop runs forever while True: ky = msvcrt.getch() length = len(ky) if length != 0: # send events to event handling functions if ky == : # check for quit event doQuitEvent(ky) else: doKeyEvent(ky) HTH, -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

You should look at the curses library for complex, but text based interfaces. I don't know if it exists on Windows though: http://docs.python.org/library/curses.html HTH, Eike. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
