IsKeyWaiting() returns true or false.
To do what you want you'd have to make your own which would be rather
involved and require most likely another script/event to monitor for the
specific key and toggle a global variable.
And depending on what your while loop is doing its any bet if the
script/event would get fired.It probably would if your loop calls Pause() I
suppose. Seems like a lot of work though.

Ok, would something like the following do the trick?
While (Condition == TRUE && Not IsKeyWaiting ()) ... Do the following ...
EndWhile
The above While Loop will continue to run until I press any key? Is there a
way to add a parameter to IsKeyWaiting () to force it to check to see if the
[Ctrl] key is being pressed down? Would like to tweak the function to check
for a specific key press, not just any key being pressed on the keyboard.
Thanks for your assistance.
