[RBASE-L] - Re: Clearing Keyboard Buffer

[Ainsworthbob]

Thanks Dennis, I hope the manual will be improved to mention this technique. This did not seem to solve my poblem, however, so the problem is something else. I find that the only time the module works correctly is if I put a pause command before, or after, the routine. Removing the pause command makes the bug re-appear each time. A click of the mouse on a button on the form causes a variable to re-populate the from, even though it is cleared before. This only happens on the first instance.

When no more keys are detected, exit the loop and proceed as you are now.
