wait, waitc#

Purpose#

Waits until any key is pressed.

Format#

wait;
waitc;

Remarks#

If you are working in terminal mode, these commands do not “see” any keystrokes until ENTER is pressed. Format clears any pending keystrokes before waiting until another key is pressed.

Examples#

// Pause until a key is pressed
print "Press any key to continue...";
wait;

// Clear pending keystrokes, then wait for a new one
print "Press a key to start...";
waitc;
