Unfortunately VAX Pascal has what they call "lazy look ahead" and there is no way within it to pull a character from the keyboard without hitting return. The only think to do is create an external function (in assembly most likely) that does this for you. Neil Clarke Drew University nclarke@drew.bitnet

Try using SMG$READ_KEYSTROKE from the VMS runtime libraries. See the second runtime library manual for info on the Screen Management Routines (SMG$). Chad
