ONKEY isn't really viable under Windows anymore ... at least not as a command. It is an event handler for some controls. Windows programming is radically different from DOS programming. Windows just sits there and waits for the user to do something (move the mouse, click on something, type something ...). It's going to be a big change in what you're used to.
