The idea is to run an infinite loop (note the condition); interrupt if the user presses a certain key. Since this is not related to any TextBox, inkey() seems to make more sense. I have done similar things in the past, but I don't know why this particular code wouldn't work.
Mike, for an infinite loop, instead of
do while 1 = 1
you can use the simpler
do while .T.
