Is the following sample using the _KeyClear, _Limit, and _keyhit functions correctly? (not worried about the rest at this point). It seems to be ok, but I'm not sure about placement of _limit, and whether it will be called more times than necessary.
_KeyClear
Print "hit a key"
GetAnAction:
_Limit 30 ' limit resource usage
k = _KeyHit ' get code of key press
Locate 12, 40: Print k; Space$(5) ' erase previous key code
If k < 1 Then GoTo GetAnAction ' if there are no keys pressed, have another look - but only do this max 30 times per second
Locate 13, 1: Print Space$(13); ' erase previous key code announcement
Locate 13, 1
Print "ok, saw"; k ' announce key that was recognized
GoTo GetAnAction ' look for another key press
_KeyClear
Print "hit a key"
GetAnAction:
_Limit 30 ' limit resource usage
k = _KeyHit ' get code of key press
Locate 12, 40: Print k; Space$(5) ' erase previous key code
If k < 1 Then GoTo GetAnAction ' if there are no keys pressed, have another look - but only do this max 30 times per second
Locate 13, 1: Print Space$(13); ' erase previous key code announcement
Locate 13, 1
Print "ok, saw"; k ' announce key that was recognized
GoTo GetAnAction ' look for another key press
