Hallo,

Can anybody tell me, what is the nature of the four arrowkeys of the
qwerty keyboard?
I mean, is there an ascii-value underneath that I can use in a char
variable? What value?
If not, how can I use them in a c++ console application?
I would like to make a kind of DOSkey thing in a database for the
users convinience. The data on a stack should be popped by one
arrowkey, presented to the user and pushed on a second stack from
which it could be popped, presented and pushed to the first stack by
the other arrowkey.
I did not write any code up to now; it was just an idea that came
across today. In order to start I like to know, how to use the arrows
of the keybord. Maybe you also can tell me what the nature is of the
functionkeys (f1, f2, ..., f12) .

Thanks a lot.

Kees
