How do I tell which keys are being held down (W, A, S, and D for
example) either alone or simultaneously? If I try to use inportb(0x60)
and press A, then S, then release A, I get something like

30

31

158 for a split second
31.

This is bad if the game doesn't recognize that split second. What
technique do you use?
