Ok, I guess I'll have to use inkey then, if I want to be able to type in "^^"...

Btw, jcl, now that I used the Watched Topic feature and get an email with your original post, I realize how often you edit your posts. You originally said:

Other than inchar, inkey doesn't return after each character, but pauses the function till it's finished. So it requires an other function that always keeps running. Also, I won't be able to handle backspaces etc. so easily, especially if I want to be able to block them. So I kinda disagree on the 5 minutes...
