The scancode chart/picker in Blitz3D claims that the backspace key is 14 ... however, in practice, my keyboard reports a value of 8. This worries me.

Is there some way to account for these differences?

Try this code on your machine...

While Not key
	key = GetKey()
Wend

Text 0,0,key
WaitKey


If I run this and hit backspace, it will report 8. Hold me.
