InKey works thanks. For some reason Komodo still produces an error... maybe i gotta stop using komodo and just do the command line thing... Here is working code. The demo file in the distribution has some more to it. `#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use lib qw(.); use Term::InKey; my ($x,$bullet); $\|=1; &Clear; print "Hit a key: "; $x = &ReadKey; &Clear; print "You typed $x";` [download] Komodo 3.52 spits out Hit a key: Not implemented on MSWin32: The handle is invalid at C:/Perl/lib/Term/InKey.pm line 32. again this works in regular dos	[reply] [d/l]
