Keyboard Counter Porting to Obj-C

[Chris Kastorff <jckastorff at ix dot netcom dot com>]

This isn't a "New Users" question, but I couldn't find another suitable 
mailing list. Bear with me:
I've been looking for a way to check how many keys have been pressed 
and how many clicks the user has made, and the only way I can find is 
creating a loop (in a timer) that checks to see if a key had been 
pressed, and then add one to the key count (same method for clicks). 
Here's the code I'm using:
  // clicks
  if system.mousedown<>lastmousedown then
    if lastmousedown then
      clicks=clicks+1
    end if
    lastmousedown=system.mousedown
  end if

  // keys
  for i=1 to 127
    if keyboard.AsyncKeyDown(i) then
      if not keysdown(i) then
        keysdown(i)=true
      end if
    elseif keysdown(i) then
      keys=keys+1
      keysdown(i)=false
    end if
  next

plus two globals: keysdown(128) as boolean, keys as integer.

I want to port this to a faceless application, but I don't have RB5.5. 
I have 5.2.4, and it doesn't have console application support.
My question is: How does RB (inside itself) check keyboard.AsyncKeyDown 
and system.MouseDown? I want to make a mac key/click counter, but I 
haven't been able to find a way to do this in Obj-C.
