Um, I can't seem to find a way to get my ARexx program to wait for the
user to hit a key before proceding. (It's a simple pager program.) Actually,
the last version did wait, it just never started again... I've been
trying to use readch('STDIN',1), but without success.
Help.

Try reopening STDIN as a RAW: console. Should work---haven't tried, though. -- Kari Sutela sutela@polaris.utu.fi

I had tried opening the window as raw:, but a) forgot to change the stdin refernece in the readch() call, and b) put the readch() in a loop, because my limited intellect did not comprehend that readch() would wait for a character to be pressed. I feel stupid. dfrancis@tronsbox.xei.com ...uunet!tronsbox!dfrancis GEnie: D.HEFFERNAN1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I don't understand why you make such a big deal out of everything...haven't you learned; if it's not happenning to me it's not important?" -Murphy Brown
