Re: I have tried coworkers, and the manual, but to no avail...

The prompt "what you want to say" for char <variable> accepts only one key entry. This includes the space bar as well as return. so if you are looking for a yes(Y) or (N)o then you must check the last_key val to determine if the user hit the space or return key. The prompt "what you want to say" for <variable> accepts more then one char if the variable is defined as such. If you want to trap the key and you are in an input statment or construct etc. where the user as control you can use the on key (key_name) do what you want
