Hey man.. seeing as how you love that my script processes one key at a time,
I'm using inkey() even more.... except I've run into a problem!

does that surprise you?! I didn't think so

I'm trying to use a switch statement to catch arrow keys from console.inkey()

It doesn't seem to be working.. it is passing some fancy ansi thru instead, and
not catch them. do the K_<mode> bits work with console.inkey()? 

here's how I wrote it, ... and none of the cases pick up the keys:

var key=console.inkey();
switch(key) {

   case KEY_DOWN:
   case KEY_UP:
   case KEY_LEFT:
   case KEY_RIGHT:
   case '\x1e':
   case '\x0a':
   case '\x06':
   case '\x1d':
      write("die");
      break;

}

there are other cases, and such, but that was the problem area.
