GLUT is great if you have an idea and want to code it up quickly and 
easily, but really shouldn't be used beyond the "demo" form of a game.
One good reason being most non-programmers don't have the glut dlls on 
their systems (when you're ready for distribution)...  another being you'll 
want to have more control and flexability in setting up the window 
properties, render, etc.
There's plenty of source out there to show you how to use Windows message 
callback function to handle keyboard (among other things) feedback.
