keyboard control codes

In my current project, I'm using keyboard.spin with a standard PS/2 keyboard to enter a few commands.

Anyone have any ideas why I cannot get the Control key to work? The system seems to just ignore the
control key, so when I try, for example, Ctrl-X (Control key and "X" key pressed at the same time), I just
get ASCII X.

I'd appreciate any insight into this!!! Thanks,

    is the variable your using to capture the kb stroke a byte?? If so it will chop off the top bit(s).

    BINGO!! That was the problem, CassLan.

    Thanks for the help (and only a few minutes after I posted the problem).

    This is a great forum, with lots of helpful folks. I only wish the search engine were better.
