Well, first off, you are in the wrong group.
BCC55 is the compiler that comes with Builder 5, while this group is
for Borland C++ which preceeded the Builder series.
The Builder groups contain cppbuilder in their name.

Your question would best fit borland.public.cppbuilder.nativeapi

The Control-C is captured with
	SetConsoleCtrlHandler( &CtrlHandler, TRUE);
(This is also where you capture Break, Close, Logoff and Shutdown.)

As to the Shift, check out GetKeyState()  GetKeyboardState() and
GetAsyncKeyState().
