Thanks! Changing the line-ending to CR worked as expected. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/d/d7bf26821e2bf8b190c873e502b989a5a87d7d3a.png) Thanks for the pointers above too. I just need to figure out what codes the keyboard is actually sending (for enter, shift, alt). I was tempted to go looking in the code for the keyboard firmware, but then I realized I could probably try the BASIC that was mentioned in this thread: > [@String handling](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/string-handling/16492/17): > > a$ = InputString("Test string") print a$ for i = 1 to len(a$) print asc(mid$(a$,i,1)) next i function InputString(prompt$) as String local r$="", b$, i, m$ print prompt$; input b$:print for i = 1 to len(b$) m$ = mid$(b$,i,1) select case asc(m$) ' Left shift, right shift, ctrl, alt case 162, 163, 161, 165 m$="" end select r$=r$+m$ next i InputString = r$ end function I suspect the “Enter” key sends some kind of keycode as well, and may not be either `\r` or `\n`. I suppose while I’m at it I can try out all the keys to make sure they aren’t doing weird stuff, and filter/translate as needed. The only one that is specifically handled (and is presumably correct) is the “Ctrl” key, which is also handled separately in the regular PicoMite code. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/play-zork-on-picocalc-picomite/17191)._
