As always : "dumb user error."
I left out the ;*; in the (needless) initialization of s/g 1, and the test
was (at this point in my testing) commented out. Now it's working.
Then, too, reading U2 help, I see VA @*11 contains the RK buffer. That may
be better than using LDRK 1.

What is the proper way in XPL to deal with multi-byte key outputs?
I'm trying to work with func RK to record a series of keystrokes, then
LDRK to s/g 1 (not 01). I'm getting baffling response:  has the right
value but a test with  fails.

Here's the code:

XPLeNCODE v2.0
b-gin [UNTITLED]
{176}SV1,{177}[cr|lf]{176}LBA{177};*; LOOP [cr|lf][BC_]--hit{032}
any key (x = exit);*;[cr|lf][RK_];*; start recording keystrok
es[cr|lf]{176}LBb{177};*;[cr|lf]{176}IF{176}RC{177}=="x"{177}
{176}GLc{177}{176}EI{177};*; here I enter "abcd" then an x to
 exit[cr|lf]{176}GLb{177};*;[cr|lf]{176}LBc{177};*;[cr|lf][RK
_];*;[cr|lf][BX_]ldrk 1[Q2_];*;[cr|lf];*;{176}IF{176}is1{177}
=="abcdx"{177}{177}[BC_]YES!{176}EX{177}{176}EI{177};*;[cr|lf
][BC_]{176}Pr@1{177}{176}EX{177}[cr|lf]
-nd
XPLeNCODE
I get a prompt showing: abcdx -- or I can put  on the command line or
at the bottom of the file (BF) and get it too. But the test for it fails.
I looked at the result of  at the bottom of the file with LIST.COM
and it's just the ASCII characters abcdx.
