I want to use the api function GetAsyncKeyState (int vkey) to know if a
specified key is down at the moment I'm calling the function
the win32 api help says that the function detectes if the key is down if the
"most significant bit is set" !! which I don't know what it means
I tried to call the function to check if the Shift key is pressed on windows
98 as follows

int check key = GetAsyncKeyState(VK_SHIFT);
but it didn't work correctly

does any one know about it ?
