hello. I am wondering if there is a way to get around the problems with the getch command. when directing a character on the screen, I want the program to detect if a key is being pressed. if not, then just keep executing the program as normal. I know something similar can be done with the Mouse.Where command, but I have yet to figure out a way to do this with the keyboard. please help.

You mean something like:

code:
var key : string (1)

loop
    if hasch then
          getch (key)
          exit when key = "x"
    end if
end loop


Nothing fancy here. Just exits when user presses "x".
