I'm trying to detect when a user make a selection. I want to know if they press the 'DEL' key. If they do, something happens, if they don't something else happens.
I've been trying this:

choice$ = INKEY$()
choice = ASC(choice$)
IF choice = 127 THEN do something
IF choice 127 THEN do something else
Trouble is, either this simply doesn't work or it happens so quickly that the program just carries on with what it below.

I could use INPUT but it's crap....I don't wanna press enter after the selection.

I don't think that the DEL key registers with INKEY$().

Try using KEYSTATE(211) instead (I think that's the right number).

*hehe* I keep unusual hours because I deal with the US of Awkward. I also have this annoying tendancy to stay awake programming for 3 days then sleep a day, at the end of which I order a skip to deal with the coffee mugs.
