You can also find that in my IRC client that's using slang. Take a look
at file input.c, parse_kbd(). The way I get the appropriate function from
a table might seem complicated, but I did it for efficiency reasons (i.e.
you don't have to walk the array to find a key). URL is :

Btw, John, could you please update URL for it? The old URL was
http://tel.netraam.com/jm/justirc/. Please do the same for my other app
(http://tel.netraam.com/jm/pupette/ ->
http://users.netraam.com/~jm/pupette/). Thank you.

Best regards,
Goran
