Hi all!

Before bothering you with silly questions I�d like to introduce myself as a 
MC newby with some experience with HyperCard in the context of Experimental 
Psychology. Please excuse me if I�m using weird terms sometimes, but apart 
from having no formal training in programming I�m also german ;-)

I need a way to call handlers within a repeat loop at different keyBoard 
actions, like

repeat
    "keyX"-->handler1
    "keyY"-->handler2
    "keyZ"-->handler3
end repeat

I understand I could use the commandKey, enterKey etc. messages, but that�s 
not very handy. The next thing in my mind was using keysDown(), but the 
problem here is, that the keys pressed "survive" in keysDown() during 
subsequent repeats and I can�t disriminate if the key was pressed again or 
if it�s still the key from the foregoing repeat. At the moment I solve this 
by sending a type command, which slows down the execution of the rest of 
the repeat loop.

I�m sure there is a more elegant way to solve the problem?

Best regards,
Uwe
