My apologies if this question is inappropriate for this newsgroup. The
FAQ did not seem to suggest a better newsgroup for this question.

In a dBASE III Plus program, I am using INKEY() to read the ASCII code of
the last key pressed. This seems to mostly work, except for a few keys.
INKEY() reads all the cursor control keys but the <- key; for <- it simply
returns a 0. There are other keys which INKEY() does not report either, but I
am not much worried about those. It would suffice for my purpose if I can
some how make INKEY() to report the <- key. Please note that I have already
verified that the <- key is working properly on my keyboard.

Thanks.

p.s. What I am trying to really do is implement "Quicken" style menus inside
	 dBASE. @..GET...READ obviously does not suffice for this purpose. Using
	 INKEY(), and implementing simple editing within a field, was the only
	 way I could think of to do this. I am a complete novice on PCs and
	 dBASE (less than a week), and would much appreciate if some one has
	 a better suggestion. If it matters, I am an experienced C/C++ programmer.
