Is there a way to retrieve a character that's pressed on the keyboard 
and print it to screen? I can do something like this for example:

instr 1
prints "Please type something"
knum, kdown sensekey

if(kdown==1) then
printks "\nThe something you pressed was:%d", 0, knum
endif

endin

What about asking someone to enter a number? 1 on a standard keyboard is 
ascii 49. One could compare each ascii value and print out the 
corresponding number/character but that seems like a lot of work. Is 
there another way around this, I didn't see any itoa type function 
although there are conversion opcodes to go the other way around.

Hi,

I think not directly in csound, but maybe you can do it using python.

Cheers,
Andrés

Cheers, it was just something I was preparing for a class but it's ok now.
