Re: [U2] KeyPressed
Just for information now, Input thisKey, -1 just returns whether or not there is anything in the input buffer. It doesn't input it. So - * test ..

Re: [U2] KeyPressed
Bill you need to check the typeahead buffer to see if there is any key to process You can use the INPUTIF command, if the type ahead buffer is empty it will take the ELSE clause You can then do this in a loop with a time display as you wished Also look at the INPUT JUNK, -1 which will look at the typeahead buffer as well -Original Message- From: Bill Brutzman bi...@hkmetalcraft.com To: 'U2 Users List' u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Fri, Aug 9, 2013 1:22 pm Subject: Re: [U2] KeyPressed Tom: Thanks for writing... but...

Re: [U2] KeyPressed
Assuming Unidata (because Unibasic) the IN() function is handy (a working example at http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?GetLineStack ) Syntax IN( ) Description The UniBasic IN function captures raw data from an input queue or from a terminal. Tip: IN can capture function, arrow, and other special keys from the keyboard.
