input without return - johnfin - 11-10-2008
How can I write an input statement for a selection menu in a program that does not require a return key input from the user.

INKEY$

Use an INKEY$ loop and assign the keypress to a string variable.
Code:
DO: K$ = UCASE$(INKEY$)Â 'use uppercase letters if alphabetical 'main loop
' menu code goes here...........
LOOP UNTIL K$ = CHR$(27)Â 'escape program loop
SYSTEM 'closes programFor numerical menues, just use the string number instead of letters.
