That's an utterly silly way of using the Info pages. Use a proper info reader instead, and you'll get to actually use indices and structured lookup. > No referrence to kbhit from any of the 4 other mentioned functions. There may be no cross-link to it, but it *is* mentioned on the conio functional category page, see? The real problem was that you obviously read *none* of the docs before (or you would have found out the details of _bioskey), not that you read them but didn't find the relevant parts. > >So what?

If you use it as is, it ignores no keypress. It doesn't check what key was pressed, either. I.e. if there are 5 old key-presses sitting in the queue, the next 5 invocations of this if() construct _will_ execute the body, regardless of whether the pressed key was or something else, and regardless of when those key presses happened. -- Hans-Bernhard Broeker (broeker AT physik DOT rwth-aachen DOT de) Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain.
