CLEAR TYPEAHEAD
This command empties out the type-ahead buffer, throwing away any keystrokes the user has entered in advance.
Usage
CLEAR TYPEAHEAD
Once in a while, you have a sensitive input item where you want to be sure the user knows what he’s doing. You don’t want mindless keyboarding to result in a disaster. When that’s the case, you can CLEAR TYPEAHEAD just before entering the field in question. CLEAR TYPEAHEAD just before displaying a WAIT WINDOW, or any WAIT command where you really want some time to pass. CLEAR TYPEAHEAD affects MESSAGEBOX() calls as well.
