I haven't used getch() to recognize the extended keyboard codes, but I
know that bioskey can be used to scan for all possible keyboard
inputs.  See the reference manual for a description of what it returns
(it has to do with shifting 8 bits to determine what kind of input was
received (normal character or extended code) and then a shift to find
the actual character code.  You will need a reference book to find
what extended codes to look for.  The _Programmer's PC SourceBook_ and
_Programming the IBM User Interface_ (by Ben Ezzel) are two good
books.

If you need further help, please email me and I can send you some of
my code.
