Inkey$

Key$ = Inkey$()

Parameters: NONE

Returns:     Key$ = The ASC II character that represent the pressed key

The Inkey$ function returns the current key pressed in string form. FACTS:       * Inkey$ can not return special keys like CTRL,SHIFT,Enter,Function keys etc, as these key have no valid ASC II character.       * Inkey$ can only return single key presses Mini Tutorial:       This example uses Inkey$ to create a very basic input function         Do      Cls RGB(0,0,0)          ; Read the Keyboard for the current key pressed      ThisChr$     =Inkey$()          ; Add this current key press to our TYPEDTEXT string      TypedText$=Typedtext$+ThisChr$                ; If this chr press was different from the last       ; key press set the LASTCHR$ variable to remember it         If ThisChr$<>""            If ThisChr$<>lastCHr$               LastChr$=ThisChr$            EndIf         EndIf                ; Display the Characters that been typed so far         Print "Typed Text:"+TypedText$       ; Display the last pressed Key         Print "Last Key pressed ("+LastChr$+")"                ; Display the Screen and wait for the user to press a key         Sync      Loop
