[TerryRitchie]

Oh just write a custom keyboard input routine you lazy varmint!

or...

Code: (Select All)

Do

    Input a

    Sleep 1

Loop Until _KeyDown(27) 

Now you don't need no stinkin' null value... but ya gotta be quick!

Thanks for the answers!

DSMan195276, yes, that's right! It would be a good notice in the wiki for KeyDown

Terry, I know that one can end the loop in another way, but this about KeyDown was unknown me.

In lesson 7 of the tutorial I cover all the different methods of using keyboard input.

And then in lesson 21 I cover the _DEVICES and _BUTTON statements and how they can be used as keyboard inputs as well.

When you get a chance check them out. Lots of good stuff in there.
