Has anyone encountered a problem with Turbo Pascal 4.0's readkey function? We have had uneven performance on a Compaq in that it sometimes appears to leave the character it reads in the keystroke buffer. ie: ch := readkey; readln(stringvar); in some instances, this code produces behavior wherein the computer never stops to read stringvar, but assigns it the character ch. Does anyone know what the problem is, or how to elegantly solve it? -- amlovell@phoenix.princeton.edu ...since 1963. disclaimer: These are MY opinions. You only WISH they were yours.
