How do I input a single character without requiring Enter? I just want to monitor keypressed and return the result. Thanks in advance Mark C.

Try opening CON: as a file and calling ReadCh – might work.

Mark, If you open a RAW: window from ARexx you can wait for a single key to be pressed without requiring an ENTER. CON: windows accumulate input until ENTER is pressed in order to allow line editing. RAW: windows pass along each character to the output buffer immediately. -Bill Hawes
