NeHe key press handling code not working properly

Hi, NeHe''s method for handling key presses doesn''t seem to be working for me. It sets the correct element in the keys array for the WM_KEYDOWN message, but it never unsets it with WM_KEYUP. so basically my input handling code keeps thinking that i''m still holding down the key even when i''ve long since released it. I have no idea what is wrong. I''ve been left with two options, either handle each VK_* message in the WM_KEYDOWN section, which can get very messy, or write my own input handler using GetAsyncKeyState, which I found easy to implement except that I think it might be costly considering I would have to call GetAsyncKeyState for every key i want to check, when that information is already available to me in the WM_KEYDOWN message.
