[fpc-pascal]Keyboard and Mouse units...

Greetings!

Is there anyway to wait for either a keyboard or mouse event at the same 
time without constantly polling for them in Windows?  One way to make it 
possible would be to make handles for NewKeyEvent and NewMouseEvent public 
in the Keyboard and Mouse units so a WaitForMultipleObjects could be used.

What I am trying to do is write a console class that is independant and 
efficient for both Linux and Windows.  It needs to be able to process input 
through both the keyboard and mouse.  I would do it myself with API calls 
but translating all the key codes into something that is independant of 
either operating system seems like a real confusing task.

Is there something I'm missing?  Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for any help
