Jim, the script would say select a bar, then run a function to report what
you've selected. So, if the user pressed 20 times, then I guess that
function is being called each time, hence causing the delay. The Is
KeyWaiting function is working as I want, but your suggestion is certainly
another way of tackling it...I've saved it in my scripts tips file for
future reference :). Steve.

yes, that should do it,but what I find curious is why does it think keys
are buffered up. It seems like the system can not gobble them up as fast as
you can strike them, and that should not be the case.
Usually, the problem is that, a single press is causing some expensive
operation to run. So, Each key press is causing a lot of processing.
the way I do this, is to only have the script accumulate counts, abut
nothing else, except to schedule a function to actually do the work later.
If the next key is pressed before the function actually runs, then cancel
the function, and start over.
The way you do that is to have the script schedule it and put the task id
into a global variable. And, have the function that does the bulk of the
work set that global back to 0 when it runs. So, your script can look at
that global and, if it is not zero, it can unSchedule (task_id), to take it
back out of the queue.
So, what happens is, the script runs with each key press, increments the
counter, and check to see if the function is already scheduled, UnSchedule
it if it is. Then, schedules the function again.
The function checks the accumulated counts, and decides what actio to take
based on that. When complete, it clears the counts, and the task_id back to
0.
This will work or else.

Ok, I think Iâ?Tve found what does the trick, but key repeating sounded more
logical.
If IsKeyWaiting () Then
Return
Else
Run function
EndIf
