Ooooh, INPUT$, I never noticed that one before. A pretty new bauble to play with. Wink

INPUT$ is as old as the language itself -- nothing new or pretty about it!  Honestly though, INPUT$ should get a *LOT* more use than what it does.  What it does is:

1) Wait for a set number of keypresses.  (No need for a sleep, limit, or _delay in any loop -- it does all that itself.)
2) Return that number of keypresses back to you.

INPUT$(1) wants 1 keypress.   INPUT$(3) waits for the user to press 3 keys.  (Or one key 3 times.)

It's simple.  It's very efficient.  Why it's not used more is beyond me.  Wink
