Big deal. Put a line inside the loop that says: 
  
IF LEN(INKEY$) THEN EXIT DO 
  
Or, alternatively, put an OR in the UNTIL line, with the same 
additional condition. 
  
SARS is seriously dangerous only to people whose health is already 
precarious. I haven't let it interfere with my life at all. A much 
bigger threat is West Nile Virus, which sometimes kills or cripples 
people who are reasonably young and healthy. This year's mosquitoes are 
now appearing. I'm trying to avoid them. 
  
And then there's Monkeypox, which may well be the answer to the threat 
of terrorists using smallpox. When I was a kid, we were all 
deliberately infected with a mild disease called cowpox, which was 
closely related to smallpox and produced cross-immunity. Monkeypox may 
well have the same effect.
