Does anyone know of an extension to BASIC similar to PAUSE n which
does not return if a key is pressed. That is, a fixed pause.
Or anyone know how or ideas on how best to go about writing one? I
guess a suitable keyword name might be WAIT (just to get this
started - it wasn't listed in Rich Mellor's BASIC reference manual
anyway!)
I considered using job suspensions, but wasn't sure if this would work
the same on all systems - I want to introduce short timings which are
consistent on all systems and aren't affected by keypresses, so the
game can run at a vaguely consistent speed on all systems.

S_Edit contains a command "EXT7" ("PAUSI" in "clear") in "keyrow_asm", which
does what you want.
