As administrator i want to see my screen output of the kixscript, but i do not want that my users must press any key to continue or have some sleep moments.

In TBasic ( yes that's old ) was a statement like : A$=Inkey$. If a key is pressed then it is in 'A$'. If no key is pressed, the program continues. If i want the script to be paused i press a key, otherwise it continues.

Is there a solution in Kix to do this ?
Thanks in advance.

Check out the new KBHIT() function in KiXtart 4.01. Slightly different than INKEY() but should serve your purpose. KBHIT() will return true if there is a keyboard code waiting in the keyboard buffer. But unlike INKEY(), one has to actually fetch the code using the GET command.

code:

---

get $
if not ingroup("Domain Admins")
    $ = sendkeys("A")
endif
