Subject:	SCOUG-Programming: REXX wait & window

Content Type: text/plain

In Rexx, how do I:

1. Sense if a keystroke is waiting in the keyboard buffer. I can't use
SysGetKey because it waits for a key press if the keyboard buffer is
empty. I don't want a "wait", I want a null string or error code so I
can continue processing.

2. Set an OS/2 window to a specific size, say 8 lines by 30 characters.
I can't use SysTextScreenSize because it reports the size of the screen
but doesn't set it. I want to set the screen size to a specific
program-defined value when the Rexx program starts.

If you have either answer, sure would like to hear it.

Thanks.
