mole	Hi all, I am making a function that receives input from the keyboard without the need of the inbuilt Input() command (it goes to the command prompt, which i dont want). I used to have source with this in.. but i lost it when my computer had to be Ghost'ed. this is what i have so far... but i cannot remember exactly how it is done. Function RequestInput$() key=GetKey() If key >= 97 And key <= 122 Then response$ = response$ + Chr$(key) If KeyHit(BSPACE) Then response$ = Left(response$,1) Color 255,255,255 Text textX,textY,prompt$+response$ Return response$ End Function --v Gives me teh codez to make it work plz (it also doesnt help that i can never be sure what my computer will do when i run a blitz program... i have had to restart my computer so many times tonight because it freezes sometimes when i compile my code.... thats why I haven't been too experimental to try and get it to work... ) cheers, mole

MikeT	Hi mole is this what you are looking for? mytxt$="" maxCharacters=9 ; maximum number of characters to accept, remember it counts from 0 loop=True chars=0 While loop=True Cls Text 10,10,"type some stuff, use backspace to delete " Text 10,20,"and return to enter" key = GetKey() If key<>0 If key=8; ; BACKSPACE If Len(mytxt$)>0 Then mytxt$ = Left(mytxt$,Len(mytxt$)-1) chars=chars-1 ElseIf key>13 And chars<=maxCharacters mytxt$ = mytxt$ + Chr(key) chars=chars+1 End If End If ;display text Text 40,40,mytxt$ If key=13 Then loop=False End If Flip Wend --v hope this helps - wil post it in the code snippets bit -=-=- One life - live it

Jayenkai	Wow.. Something must've been broke, 'cos in all honesty, I do NOT remember seeing this topic, before! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
