WAIT


Syntax:     WAIT [<prompt>] [TO <memvarC>]

Purpose:    To pause program execution after displaying a prompt and
            then waiting until a key is pressed.

Options:    Prompt: The <prompt> is an expression of any data type
            WAIT displays if specified.  If no <prompt> is specified,
            the default prompt is:  "Press any key to continue..."

            Memory variable: The TO <memvarC> clause creates the
            specified memory variable that contains the character
            entered.

Usage:      WAIT returns the character entered into the specified
            character memory variable.  If a non-printable character is
            entered, WAIT returns zero to the character variable.
            Function keys are ignored unless assigned with SET FUNCTION
            or SET KEY.

            Note that WAIT is a wait state.

Library:    CLIPPER.LIB
