Tom:

Thanks for writing... but...

        Once I put in 

        Input junk, 1:

The loop waits for a user input and thus stops updating time.

I do agree that INPUTCLEAR should work but since it doesn't, try
"CLEARDATA".

Your example seems to be missing something that may help clarify things but
another thought is:
  loop                                    

    call *timeOfDay
    call *displayOtherStuff

     input             thisKey, -1
     input junk,1:

  until (thisKey = '1')
  
     sleep
  
  repeat  

  gosub secondScreen

The "input junk,1" will take the first character entered and discard it but
it will clear the buffer,

With Dynamic Connect... and UniBasic...

I need a screen that continuously displays time... as we have an inspection
screen where press operators enter fresh data each hour.  Something like...

  loop                                    

    call *timeOfDay
    call *displayOtherStuff

     input             thisKey, -1

  until (thisKey = '1')
  
     sleep
  
  repeat  

  gosub secondScreen



The trouble with this thing is... when a key is pressed... it wants to
display the key on asubsequent screen.

I tried...    inputclear... but it is not doing what I want.

Suggestions would be appreciated.
