    Hi,
    I have a little problem. I have to get a space key pressed to allow
    the program go on to other operations. I'm using batch skill in a
    shell and no under Opus so bindkeys are not available. However, is
    there a way to get a char or a string from keyboard and store it in a
    variable? Something like that allow user to get information i a skill
    batch session.

    Thank you,

    Giuseppe

    The following should work under unix. Not sure how portable though.

    use waitForKey(32) for spacebar.

    procedure( getch()
    let( (c)
    system("stty -echo raw")
    c = getc(piport)
    system("stty echo -raw")
    charToInt(c)
    ) ; let
    ) ; procedure

    procedure( waitForKey(k)
    while( k>=32 && k<=127 && getch() != k t )
    )

    Hi, thank you for the suggestion but in my case I would like to check
    the key press without a pause until the key is pressed...
