The way the function was set up it just checked to see if any key was 
pressed. I just am used to using the control key. so David's suggestion 
should work.

easy

| IsKeyWaiting return true if you press a modifier? Does KeyPressedEvent get
| called?

| Good afternoon Dean,
|
| I did not look through your code.  However, it sounds to me like you
| need a global variable that can be set to On or Off so that your
| function can know if it should stop or not.
|
| 1. Create a global variable to store a binary state of on or off
|
| 2. When the reading function starts set the variable to on
|
| 3. When the control key is pressed set the variable to off
|
| 4. In your reading function check the state of the global variable
| before reading the next line.
|
| HTH,
| Everett
