[MWForum]RE: The Ascii Finder

[Wendy Petti]

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for sharing the ascii finder.  It dawned on me that you didn't have
to write out all of those "if" commands.  All you need is this:

to find_Ascii
make "key ascii readchar
announce :key
end

(It works exactly the same way as your very long procedure!!  I tried it on
the tab and backspace and Enter and spacebar and arrow keys... it works just
fine.  I'm not sure why we'd need to know ascii numbers for "regular" keys
like letters and numbers since we can refer to the letters or numbers
instead.  But it is useful to know the ascii numbers for those other keys -
the ones without letters or numbers - when we want to use them in a
procedure.)
