Doing that's not recommended. You should use Sync On and then sync every time you want to refresh the display--usually once per main loop iteration.

Thank you.

I think that in DBPro, when you load a bitmap without a number it won't take up the entire screen like it does in DBC. Try loading it as an IMAGE and then using PASTE IMAGE or the SPRITE command to put it on the screen.



To modify Dar13's code a bit (which was correct as far as I could tell)

You can still use suspend for key.
