Check Input.KeyDown in turing manual F10

Or perhaps getch would be better.  It would only output your text each time you hit enter, rather than each time the button is determined to be down.

Check the Turing Walkthrough for some links.

or perhaps just an Input.Puase in between each put statement. Input.Pause waits for ANY keystroke beofre continuing.

Getch would be the best. Its really easy to use. Plus, with Input.Pause, it may echo the keys.

View.Set ("noecho")

-----------------------------------

you would use getch() when you're looking for a specific character (or set of)

Input.Pause works fine for waiting for any key (where is this "any key" anyways?
