Let's get to the content of this thread. I've been playing around with a command prompt interface in BASIC. For the user input I am using the Input command:
c1-->
| CODE |
| ec1Input "",Str1c2 |
ec2
Fine and dandy, really, however the problem I encounter is the fact that if you hit 2nd+mode (=Quit) instead of entering a string, the program kicks you right back to the homescreen. For some reason this seems like some super-exit-the-program feature. I don't want this to happen.
I did find programs that block the On key, but none that can block the 2nd or the mode key, or anything to help me with this.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Krid
P.S Greetings to everyone who's still around :)

It does not need the Input command, and still stores the info to a string, I just don't remember which one... :/

1. it stores it to Str2
2. found a way around the first entry of the Str being a " ". Do sub(Str2,2,length(Str2)-1 -> Str2
B)

, he has returned!!! I hope you will stay, I miss talking with you on IRC.Well I have a present for you :gift:
, http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/330/33039.html blocks [ON]. The other option would to make it in a getkey loop, where you type it out without pressing alpha. Post by: DJ Omnimaga on September 02, 2006, 01:07:00 am

@tifreak: Seems the version on Ticalc.org has the bug mentioned in the readme :/
@kalan: I already use onblock to block the on key, however I have not written a getkey routine. I do wonder how manageable it would be to actually replicate the exact affect of Input (which is perfect for a command prompt!)
So there's nothing out there that let's you choose a key to block?
@xlibman: Don't count on another RPG from me soon :(
I was on IRC briefly yesterday, I'll check again if I have a spare moment!
Oh, I started messing around with the GetCalc command, and I'm now working on a somewhat playable multiplayer game! (Because we lack those). If it get's to a state I think it's worth mentioning, I'll make a thread about it (that is, if I decide to publish it etc.). GetCalc sucks though, I might start some tests with Zcom to see if I can get a more real-time approach with that. (So far it looks like the problem with Zcom is that it can only send/get the Ans var.)

as for zcom i would recommend it as getcalc doesnt get data if the other calc is busy

.@Kevin: That is when you have to have it in a loop testing...longs times :P
...Could you just disable onblock before running a different asm program? It has a enable/disable feature! >.>
