I have spent a while looking at
getkey() and _bios_keybrd() and a few more
but I can't seem to find anything to use
to just detect if a particular key is pressed.

so say if(keyboard_keypressed('a')printf("a\n");
       if(keyboard_keypressed('b')printf("b\n");
and the a and b buttons are both held down
a and b will be printed out.

Is there a way of achieving this?

any help is much apreciated.
