Examples

Example 1: Reading an entire file. Example assumes the program has a file opened as #1

   
OPEN "Readme.txt" FOR INPUT AS #1
WHILE NOT EOF(1)
    _LIMIT 1                                    'limit line prints to one per second 
    LINE INPUT #1, text$
    IF INKEY$ = CHR$(27) THEN EXIT WHILE        'ESC key exits
    PRINT text$
WEND  

Example 2: Clearing the keyboard buffer.

  
WHILE INKEY$ <> "" : WEND
