Pure expert programmer for those that memorize those "VK" codes!
_Keydown(Asc("w"))
Instead of using the number for the w key.

I wish on empty string "ASC()" function returned zero, without interrupting program flow. I'm crabbing now because I should have done it to whoever inside M$ was responsible for QuickBASIC and not daring to change it.
