If you want it to end when pressing a specific key, use keystate. The code to make it end when you hit backpace would be this:

if keystate(14)=1
end
endif

If you need to find what number a key is then simply run the program:

do
print scancode()
loop

and while in the program hold down the key you want to use, and it will give you a number. You just substitute that number into the original bit of code I gave you where 14 is. I just used 14 in my example since I happen to know which key it is.

Insanity is just a state of mind.

If you aren't that advanced with DB yet and you are writing small programs that don't involve a main loop, then you might only need:

Print "Press Any Key To Exit"
Wait Key
End

... at the end of your program.

Otherwise the answers above are what you need.

Actually to one Deamon used was what I was looking for because, I don't really understand how I was supposed to make say my Esc key the key I press to exit the program and nothing else, because I did use the WAIT KEY but the problem with that was I wanted to use MOVE CAMERA WITH ARROWKEYS and well the program would end if I tried to move the camera.
