David, UniData has a FOR or WAITING clause on the INPUT statement which lets you do exactly this. I'm not sure what the UniVerse equivalent would be.
Certainly you wouldn't normally want to be in a tight loop looking for input with INPUT,-1 or INPUTIF, or blocked by a SLEEP when input was available already. Perhaps a NAP inside an INPUT,-1 LOOP?

I want to do a timed INPUT in UV - if after n seconds the Enter key hasn't been pressed, do something. Anyone got any clever ways of doing this ?
