From FreeBASIC Help for SLEEP: "Waits until a specified time has elapsed, or a key is pressed."
Aha, never would have looked there (PB bias).
On relection, makes sense. If no key press give clock cycles back till next time slice for this app.
Think I'll save INKEY in a loop for getting particular keys.
"File / Preferences / Environment Options / Compiler Setup / "Run compiled programs using the command window"" Good to know. Isn't it specific to tiko, not general to FreeBASIC?
big thanks
(sure I'll run into something else)
Interested in GUI too.
If can't do a "Hello World" in console, figured no chance in GUI.
