hi all,, in this code: char = get_key() if (char = 'Q') then SendToServer(sock_connect[2],"QUIT :"&my_nick&" is done testing") puts(1,"you did a 'Q'uit\n") puts(logfile,"you did a 'Q'uit\n") flush(logfile) exit end if there is a hang at get_key(),, and i didn't know there would be one, i thought it would return -1 if there was no key.

However, in Windows I've observed that things like gaining or losing focus might occasionally cause it to wait until you press a key. If you have some repeatable, simple code that shows the problem, please send it to me. If it's critical, you might be better off writing an event-driven Win32Lib GUI application that detects key presses. Regards, Rob Craig Rapid Deployment Software http://www.RapidEuphoria.com
