===== KEYGET  =====

===== SYNTAX =====
     KEYGET variable

==== PURPOSE ====


The ''KEYGET' capture a single character typed by the user 
without having to press enter. In other words, the program is "listening" 
to the keyboard and, as soon as a key is pressed, "captures" it and 
stores it in a variable given as parameter.

Unlike the ''INPUT'' command, which requires the user to press enter after
typing, ''KEYGET'' reads the character as soon as it is pressed. If no key 
has been pressed, ''KEYGET'' will wait. Finally, the captured 
character is stored in a string variable.



==== EXAMPLE ====
    KEYGET var$
    PRINT var$;" pressed"


==== ABBREVIATION ====
   Kyg


==== AVAILABLE ON ====


==== SEE ALSO ====
[[INKEY]]
