<B>PEN Enable/Disable Pen Read and Trap Statement</B>
<B>PEN</B> {ON | OFF | STOP}
Enables or disables the PEN function (which returns light pen status
information. Also enables or disables trapping of light pen activity.
ON Enables reading of the light pen status, via the PEN
function, and causes QuickBASIC to check for light pen
activity.
OFF Disables reading of the light pen status and causes
QuickBASIC not to check for light pen activity. This is
the default condition.
STOP Disables reading of the light pen status and deactivates
trapping, but QuickBASIC continues checking to see if the
pen has been activated. If it has, a subsequent PEN ON
results in an immediate trap (provided an ON PEN statement
with a nonzero line number has been executed).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
<B>Notes:</B> If the "Checking Between Statements" option is in effect,
QB checks for light pen activity after each statement. If
the "Event Trapping" option is selected, QB checks after
each new program line. If neither option is selected, no
trapping takes place.
For command-line compilation, /v enables checking after
each statement, and /w enables checking after each new
line. If neither switch is used, no trapping takes place.
