  • ooRexx One Key Input

    From Daniel Kelly@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 28 09:57:25 2020
    Hi everyone! I have ported one of my games from Amiga's AREXX to ooRexx so that it will run on the PC. The only issue I have is that I cannot figure out how to get one key of input from the user without requiring them to press enter afterwards. Does
    anyone know of a solution? Thanks!

    Try sysGetKey() or sysGetKey("noecho"). Documentation in rexxref.pdf, "8.29. SysGetKey".
