Can you define your application a little bit more? Why not use the KeyPress() event?

>I've got an app that reads a continuous machine input. I also need to check for keystrokes. My problem is that the longer the keypress routine, the slower the application. I would expect that if it was being executed; however, the slow-down still happens when the keystroke routine aborts:
