You can do that by writing a Keypress Event - very similar to writing an event to handle the arrow keys.

Instead of selecting one of the arrow keys for your event, select the letters option and then select the letter that you want to fire the event.

And contrary to what the good Dr. Jim , who brings a tremendous amount of knowledge to this forum, might have implied in an earlier response- I will help anyone, just not with a homework assignment! (And I know this is not an assignment)

Good luck.

I certainly did not mean to imply that - probably just an after-effect of watching too many political TV commercials. And "I did not ..." (OK :) - won't go there).

Ok, You say that we need to create a keypress event...however, when my students go to create an event that option is missing in our version??? I have 2.0 is there an update???
We can move with arrows, but not select an individual arrow that is pressed. Can you help us?
