SYSNXT is a general purpose batch file get key utility.
SYSNXT was written to use as a Sysop Next key for my BBS.

     This program is guarenteed to do nothing but take up your precious
hard disk space.

SYSNXT ssskeee [ssskeee] [ssskeee] [ssskeee]
       sss = seconds to wait for timeout 0-255
       k = key to activate timeout
           (A)lways (C)apsLock (N)umLock (S)crollLock
       eee = errorlevel to exit if any key is pressed 0-255

Example:
     SYSNXT 30S5 = Wait 30 seconds for any key if scroll lock is on.
                   If key is pressed exit with errorlevel 5.

     If sss is equal to 0 or missing then there will be no timeout
and the program will exit immediately.  If eee is missing or equal
to 0 then the exit code will be equal to the ascii code of the key
pressed.  (k) can be an A, C, N or S.  If the A, C, N or S is an
uppercase character, the computer will beep as every second ticks by.

USE: Example of BBS.BAT...

ECHO OFF
:START
SYSNXT 30S1
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO BATEND
C:
CD\BINKLEY
BT SHARE
.

.
GOTO START
:BATEND
