Evertjan,

That part I understand.

But if nothing has been put into the buffer yet, why than does that "Do 
While Not WScript.StdIn.AtEndOfLine" loop (and thus wait) ?

The only thing I can think of is that the AtEndOfLine checks, in case of the 
keyboard, for a CR.   Yet, adding another "WScript.StdIn.Read(1)" below the 
loop to get rid of that EOL char doesn't help.
