Ok, there's 2 qeustions here:

1. when useing the INPUT command (eg. INPUT "Type here:", reply$" I want my program to be able to distinguish between words. This is for a console, so i want to be able to type in somthing like:

load "crate.X"

and the program should look at the input and got the Load function (in my program) and then use "crate.X"

2. How do i detect if a key is being pressed, BUT not use the rightkey () or somthing like that. possibly useing the ascii codes?

Thanks for reading.

you hit the nail on the head for the keystate one.
Thanks!

But is there anyway for the input command to get 2 varibles, with only 1 prompt?

so it would ask
"Object to load:"
and you could specify the name AND the number in one line. Thats what i want to be able to do.

No, you don't need two prompts!

Use one prompt:

input "File and number to load (seperated by a space): ",FileInput$

Then use Mid$ to find the space in FileInput$, and copy the stuff to the left of the space to your Filename variable, and the VALue of the stuff to the right as your ObjectNumber variable.

Dream and Death you read my mind But you may want to use a ";" or some other character if the thing that you input has spaces
