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.
