I Tried to write something similar, but kept getting random program lockups or
universe
bombouts. What I was trying to do was as letters were being typed, fine tune
a listing
to the right. Also, I tried to make a full screen editor, allowing the
arrows to allow
the user to move from field to field, and the insert key would function as
expected.
Because I was only taking one key at a time, I had to use KEYIN (otherwise
backspace wouldn't
trigger the routine as a key typed, or a function key would be returned as
only the first
character of the key.
Most of the time it worked, just everynow and again, it would blow up, and I
could never
figure out why (although I was told it was most like something in the
keyin() internally).
The gist of the routine is below: It requires you to roll your own input
routine, that is
you have to check for an "ENTER", and check for a "backspace", then remove the
last char
from BUFFER.
1000:
INPUT TEST,-1:
LOOP WHILE(TEST="1") DO
BUFFER=BUFFER:KEYIN()
INPUT TEST,-1:
REPEAT
RETURN
