Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't wait_key wait for a keypress?  I use=

Inkey$ because it doesn't wait.  If there was no keypress since it's last=

pass, it returns a null string. {Giggles} And how is a null string
represented numerically? -1? {Laughs} Even if a=string:a=chr$(0), then =
a>"",=20
or a is more than a Nul String! {Grins}

Love & Friendship & Blessed Be!
