THERE IS!   Commas are used for OR!  Watch:
            ^^^^^^

   SELECT CASE ASC(k$)
      CASE 48-57, 65-90, 97-122
         'Accepts all numbers, Upper case letters and Lower
         'case letters.
      CASE 27, 13
         'EXIT on ESCape or ENTER keys.
         EXIT SUB
   END SELECT

OR...

   SELECT CASE answer$
      CASE "Y", "y"
         'Do stuff for YES
      CASE "N", "n"
         'Do stuff for NO
