WAITKEY$ not in FreeBASIC

[Paul Squires]

Code:

print "This is my console app"
print

' Use Sleep or While/Wend loop to pause and contiue displaying the console window

sleep

' - or -

while inkey$ = "": wend

---

Another alternative if you are using tiko and always running console programs (without the Sleep or Inkey methods), you can change the Environment setting to always run your program in a command window.

File / Preferences / Environment Options / Compiler Setup / "Run compiled programs using the command window"

Use either the Sleep/Inkey -or- Command Window Setting, but not both together.
