#Input.Flush

##Syntax Input.Flush

##Description The Input.Flush procedure empties the keyboard buffer. It is often used to avoid accidentally reading multiplekeystrokes because the user pressed a key for too long, causing autorepeat.

##Example This program echoes input from the keyboard at a rate of 10 characters per second. If you hold down a key, the echoing will stop as soon as you stoppressing the key. Without the Input.Flush, the program continues to echo many more keystrokes that have accumulated in the keyboard buffer.

    loop
        if hasch then
            put getchar ..
            Input.Flush
            delay (100)
        end if
    end loop

##Status Exported qualified.

This means that you can only call the function by calling Input.Flush, not by calling Flush.
