If `getch' returns 0, call it again and you will get the scancode of the 
key.  Keys that don't have ASCI code always return a 0 on the first call 
to getch and the scancode on the next.

Or you can use the `getkey' or `getxkey' functions that return the key in 
one call, even if it is a special key.
