Russ, this works for my programs that use function 6 for portability. This will flush the BDOS buffer if there are any characters waiting. MVI C,CONSTAT ;BDOS console status function CALL BDOS ORA A ;check for character pending JZ SKIPIT ;zero means nothing there MVI C,CONIN ;BDOS console input function CALL BDOS ;go get it ; SKIPIT: (do your next task here, ignoring any character gathered above) --Keith
