| I purchased a ti-89 today :biggrin: and have started to try my hand at a little bit of basic. I was wondering is there any way to get continuous input from keys using getkey(). If you don't know what i mean, i am talking about something similar to basic on the 83 family when you press an arrow and you can keep on moving something around. |

| Don't the arrow keys work the same way on the TI-89 with getKey()? If not, your best bet is to use an assembly library that reads keys in a more low-level kind of way. |

| I figured out that it does do it, but there is a one to two second delay, which may or may not affect what i want to do, i will just have to wait and see. |
