Not that this is the easiest way but this would be a very simple .dlm to
write. With Ronn Kling's "Calling C from IDL" it would probably only
take you a few hours, even if you are a C novice. For hints, you can
check out my directInput.dlm. It contains an couple of unrelated
functions to get system metrics. you could chop out all of the
directInput stuff and use these are starting points.

On the windows side there are a number of ways to set/get keys. The
Win32 api would probably be easiest if you are unfamiliar with MFC.

If you get this up and running, please share! :)
