You can continue to check what keys are down in the background using Revolution by using the keysDown() function or the commandKey() / other function key functions. I'm not sure what you would use this for, but it can be done. For example: on mouseUp send "checkKeys" to me in 10 milliseconds end mouseUp on checkKeys put keysDown() into fld 1 send "checkKeys" to me in 10 milliseconds end checkKeys Kind regards, Kevin Kevin Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.runrev.com/> Runtime Revolution Limited - The Solution for Software Development Tel: +44 (0) 870 747 1165.
