hi, i've been told that mathematica 6 (which actually i don't own, i can seldom use it at campus) can accept input by pressing a key without pressing return, (something similar to the inkey$ command of gwbasic). could you please explain me how to do with a simple example? mind that i'm not at all an expert user of mathematica language. it could be enough if you could show me how to obtain a string, displayed on an output cell of the notebook adding the carachters i type without waiting for the return ... by the way, if i look for this feature for other systems, which term should check? hotkeys? thank you very much anm
