PunyInform - Waiting On Keypress .z3

Authoring Inform 6

I started working with PunyInform again, and I found this solution for waiting for a keypress when compiling to .z5:

It works great, but is there a similar way to do this in .z3? This comes from a post over five years old, so I’m hoping this has been worked on.

Unfortunately no. The Z-machine version 3 simply doesn’t support it.

The closest you get is to ask the player to press RETURN, and do a normal line read.

Thanks. Yeah, there’s just limits when working with .z3.
