Okay, I'm an extreme newbie when it comes to code (my usual speciality
is graphics), and I'm using DJGPP and Allegro.  Here's my problems...

1. How can I use "readkey()" to check for more than one keypress?
I.e.: If KEY-UP is pressed, the pointer will move up, and if KEY-DOWN
is pressed, it will move down.  Hmm..maybe I've worded this wrong..not
sure.

2. (a general coding question) How can I return back to a specific
point in a function? (without using GOTO of course. :))

and 3. (using Allegro) What's the best way to peoperly remove a sprite
(not a bitmap) when I'm done with it?  Right now, I just call the
original bitmap back from memory before it had any sprites plopped on
it, but that's probably not good.

Now I have a headache. :)

Well, if anyone can help (and I know they can), you can post a
followup here, or e-mail me at "visge AT spamsucksflash DOT net" (just remove
the "spamsucks" and you'll get the proper e-mail address.  Thanks!
