getting around getch

[Nitro]

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".
