Problem with INKEY$

[Fred Katzel]

The following is the input portion for a large program:

2: DO
b$ = INKEY$
LOOP UNTIL b$ <> ""
IF b$ = CHR$(13) THEN 4
c = c + 1: LOCATE 21, 10 + c: PRINT b$
a$ = a$ + b$
GOTO 2
4: Begin to separate a$ into its various component and to test them.

The problem is when I hit RETURN it causes the information above the input portion to roll up one space. I am unable to use INPUT in this particular program because I have the computer working in the background and I don't want to stop it to input informa-tion. Is where some way I can prevent the data above from roll-ing up? Thanks in advance.

The easiest way would probably be to do something like this...

c = c + 1: LOCATE 21, 10 + c
IF B$ = CHR$(13) THEN 
    PRINT "Enter"
ELSE
    PRINT B$
END IF

I have found the problem. It was in another part of the program.
There is no problem with INKEY$. This topic can now be eliminated.
