I'd like to pause a graphics program at the end until the user presses a key. Right now, I do this:

DO WHILE INKEY$="": LOOP


Is there an easier way?

Not really.
You can use INPUT but that is likely to mess up GUI displays.
You could loop looking for a button press but no advantage there either.

or....
DO WHILE NOT KEYDOWN(0):LOOP

but no real advantage that I can see over what you've already done.

EDIT:

but....
DO WHILE NOT (KEYDOWN(0)+KEYDOWN(7)):LOOP

will also respond to CAPSLOCk/SHIFT/ALT/CTRL/etc keys.
