To check for a string you need to enclose the string in "'s.



Whatever I did I didn't do it!

Have a look at the ENTRY$ Function (As well as all the other INPUT fuctions)in the online help and look at my input routined I've posted into the Code Snippets area for an idea on how it can be used.

Another small example of keyboard reading is below:

To get things like F-keys and Capslock you can use the keystate() command.

This image lists all the numbers that go into keystate, note your keyboard may have a slightly different set of numbers.



if you wanted input from the F1 key you would use:

if keystate(59)=1 then print "You hit the F1 key"
