Hi, Thank You for your msg,  
I'm a new ada coder, and I have run into a small problem, I can't find
a function that will return the ASCII converted number for any key
pressed on the keyboard,   example:  user hits the backspace key, I
would like to be able to catch the key however, without a function to
convert the ASCII representation to #8, we would have no idea that he
pressed the backspace.  In VB it's the "CHR" function in Pascal it's
the "Ord" function, ADA95 does not list this function anywhere that I
can find, I am hoping it is built into the compiler, however, I think
I may need to dload a Package.

Any Help is much appreciated,

Thnx ,Johnny
