I've tried reading the faq and "brennans guide to inline assembly" but I 
still can't convert the following code. Maybe it's because I can't really 
program in assembly anyway :)

It's borland inline asm, and it reads a keypress for me. It'll go in a 
wrapper and act as my keyboard handler (I already wrote a mouse one). OK, 
here goes:

#define KEY_BUFFER a_value
#define KEY_CONTROL another_value
#define INT_CONTROL yet_another_value

asm{
  sti
  in al,KEY_BUFFER
  xor ah,ah
  mov raw_key,ax
  in al,KEY_CONTROL
  or al,0x82
  out KEY_CONTROL,al
  and al,0x7f
  out KEY_CONTROL,al
  mov al,0x20
  out INT_CONTROL,al
}

I'm writing all my own routines rather than use "allegro", since you learn 
by doing. And I already had the routines for BC ;)

Thanx in advance,
