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
