INKEYW
. Summary
inkeyw();
. Description
The inkeyw function returns a character from the keyboard, and waits
for a key to be pressed if the keyboard buffer is empty.
Note that Telix while executing a script file checks the keyboard
between every command to see if the user wants to abort the script.
For these commands to work, this keyboard checking must be disabled.
This is done by setting the _scr_chk_key system variable to a non-
zero (FALSE) value (that variable is further described in the sec-
tion on system variables).
. Return Value
inkeyw waits until a key has been pressed if none is available in
the keyboard buffer, and returns that value.
Both of these functions also return extended key code values which
are not part of the ASCII character set (for example, the code for
Alt-D).
. Example
chr = inkeyw();
