Hi, me again, Here is what my test user had to say about the keyboard: Again, the letters and numbers weren't working properly. (I do have a standard American Qwerty keyboard.) No letters work at all, neither does the space bar, and the numbers are 2 off of what they say to be. In other words, 1 and 2 have no response and hitting 3 brings up the minor pentatonic scale game, and so on and so fourth all the way up to 0 and -. Not sure why this would happen, but at least it worked. This is typical of what I get from users trying out Guitar Zero, but it's always different. Not sure what to do, try message.ascii()?
