Even in unattended mode (sys(2335) I want to have a mechanism to escape. So, I test for inkey() in a subroutine. The weird thing is that this causes no error as long as no key is pressed. However, as soon as I press a key, the INKEY() line generates error 2031 'User-interface operation not allowed at this time.'

I do not want to turn unattended mode on and off all the time. Who's got a solution? Perhaps some API key test?

If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
