getting a user to press a key via AmigaDOS

DeafDaz · 09 January 2012, 18:05

I am experimenting with scripting via AmigaDOS under WinUAE emulation Using KS1.3 and WB1.3. I want to add a command in my script that Waits for the user to press a key before executing the next batch of commands in my script. I have hit a brick wall with this one can anyone help?

Code:

ask "Please press Enter to continue"

Thanks Thomas

I had used the Ask command earlier on in my script. I t did not occur to me to use ask for this fuction. I was thinking of a press any key to continue. but this is better and easier.
