To answer your question, yes there is a way. It involves writing your own input routine that doesn't freeze the program. I've never actually had to do this, so I might be sol also.

I find that the easiest way to help someone is to copy & paste their code into my own IDE, change it so that it works and then post it back here. However, to do that with your code, I would have to type in every bit of it myself and that just isn't going to happen.

 temp$=temp$+entry$(1)

 if keystate(14)=0 then flag=0
 if keystate(14)=1 and flag=0 then temp$=left$(temp$,len(temp$)-1) : flag=1

 if selection=1 then User$=temp$
 if selection=2 then ShipName$=temp$
