Heres an example

Dim key(50)
key(16) = 81
key(17) = 69
key(18) = 87
key(19) = 82
etc...
key(30) = 65
key(31) = 83
etc...
key(44) = 
etc...

;loop
while not keyhit(1)

  if keyhit(20) ;"T" go into text mode
    inputmess = true
  endif

  if inputmess = true
    for iter = 16 to 25 ;q to p
      if keyhit(iter) then message$ = message$ + chr$(key(iter))
    next
    for iter = 30 to 38; a to l
      if keyhit(iter) then message$ = message$ + chr$(key(iter))
    next
    for iter = 44 to 50; z to m
      if keyhit(iter) then message$ = message$ + chr$(key(iter))
    next
    if keyhit(enter)
      displaymess = true
      inputmess = false
      messdispstart = millisecs()
      SendMessageOverNetwork(message$)
    endif
  endif

  if inputmess = true or (displaymess = true and messdispstart + 5000 > millisecs())
    text 50, 450, message$
  endif

  if displaymess = true and millisecs() > messdispstart + 5000
    message$ = ""
