Hello,
   Is there a way to test to see if a key is already pressed.  Let say I run
this program from the autoexec, and I want to see if the space bar is pressed.
If it is I want to do one thing, if not I want to do another.  I don't want to
wait there for a key to be pressed, just see if it already is.  I have C++ and
Turbo Pascal to program with.  Thanks.
