Mr Brine:
Thank you. Keydown and Keyhit work but Getkey/Flushkeys do not. The trouble with fixing something without knowing what is going on underneath, precisely what each command does, is that you can never really be sure in advance that something you write will work.
I do have a personal programming weakness with events, menus, keypresses, mice and so on. It was the same on the Amiga. I have no trouble with extremely complicated algorithms, but it's taking me a month of Sundays to really get a cast iron grip on a general structure for user interfaces.
Anyway, thanks again for your trouble.
