 I am wondering how is it possible to get a continous keyboard interrupt, i.e. to prevent the standard PC procedure wich consists in getting a caracter once, then wait a bit, then get a series of caracters (when you keep a key pressed for a while). Of course my intention is to use the keypad's arrows as a "joystick".

Is that standard procedure due to DOS? or the BIOS? or what?

I am using your everyday PC, and I program with Bordland's Turbo C 2.01 & Microsoft's MASM.

If anyone can help me, I'd be very thankful....
