From help on inkey():
"Parameters
nSeconds
Specifies the number of seconds to wait for a keystroke. If you do not specify a value for nSeconds, INKEY( ) returns a value for a keystroke immediately. If nSeconds is 0, INKEY( ) waits indefinitely for a keystroke."

So... give it a zero for a parameter, or else it won't wait, and your chances of lifting your finger off a key at exactly the right moment are pretty much nil.
