David, Not sure what you need to accomplish, Brian's offer looks promising.
You might also try INPUTIF. I use it in status screens. .... got the idea from my days working with computer aided dispatch. ACT='' LOOP INPUTIF YOUR.WISH THEN BEGIN CASE CASE UPCASE(YOUR.WISH) MATCHES XQUIT ; ACT = "EOJ" CASE YOUR.WISH GE 1 AND LE OPTION.CNT ; Go do the option nbr CASE 1 ; Error handler here END CASE END ELSE SLEEP REFRESH.SEC.CNT.FROM.INSTALLATION.PARAMS GOSUB REFRESH.AMBULANCE.STATUS.SCRN END UNTIL ACT = 'EOJ' REPEAT We have someone who watches a status screen for Credit Card Auths that are on some status that requires human interaction. Works nice. -Baker I'm sure I've seen something about this recently, but I've searched the past 2 years with no luck. I want to do a timed INPUT in UV - if after n seconds the Enter key hasn't been pressed, do something. Anyone got any clever ways of doing this ?
