    Arrow Arrow Keys

    How do you get the c++ program to sense the input of the arrow keys? I'm using Borland C++. Can you give me an example?

    use these with getch() or getchar whenever you want to test for keys.

    left arrow = 'K'
    up arrow = 'H'
    down arrow = 'P'
    right arrow = 'M'

    like
    Code:
    char ch;

//do stuff...
ch = getch();
if(ch == 'H')
    //do something for the UP arrow
ect...
