can somebody plz tell me how F1-12 , Ctrl , Alt and shift are identified by inkey$? (i won't be rude like that anymore)

you can do that with the KEY ON and the ON KEY statement. With this piece of code your program will stop when the ESC key is hitted: (if after the stop label the end statement in typed)

KEY(27) ON
ON KEY(27) GOSUB STOP

and with this you can use te F-keys where num is the number between 1 and 10, for F11 and F12 you must use 31 and 32:

KEY(num%) ON
ON KEY(num%) GOSUB

I hope you will find something in my answer
