the eaay way is that you could use an array of bools, and set the ines that are down to true, the hard way IMHO is learn direct input. I like easy things, so i'll give ya some code to that effect


ie (taken from NeHe tutorials but not specific to OpenGL)

    bool keys[256];    Array to hold all the keys we've got  and add this to your WndProc Callback      case WM_KEYDOWN:          // Is A Key Being Held Down?{   keys[wParam] = TRUE;	  // If So, Mark It As TRUE   return 0;              // Jump Back}case WM_KEYUP:	          // Has A Key Been Released?{   keys[wParam] = FALSE;  // If So, Mark It As FALSE   return 0;		  // Jump Back}    

edit: Note that in my experiance this can only handle about 4 or 5 keys at one time... and it depends on which keys... i think that has something to do with the way keyboards send data... i'm not realy sure.
