Title: New problem with the SLEEP command in Oct 30 Dev Build
Post by: hanness on November 07, 2019, 06:58:14 pm: I'm wondering if the fix to the previous problem that I reported a few days ago caused this problem....

The SLEEP command will now always wait for a key to be pressed even if a sleep time is specified. For example, if I issue the command "SLEEP 5", the program will not proceed after 5 seconds. It will wait forever for a key press.

Tested on the October 30 Development Build

Sample code:

_______________

$CONSOLE:ONLY
_DEST _CONSOLE: _SOURCE _CONSOLE

PRINT "This is a test. The program should continue in 5 seconds."
SLEEP 5
PRINT "We should reach this point 5 seconds after the first message but that does not happen."
END
