Tandy 1000 Basic Reference Manual

Chapter 10 I BASIC Keywords
STRIG OFF
STRIGO OFF turns off joystick trapping with the ON STRIGO
GOSUB statement.
When you load
BASIC, STRIGO OFF is the default, because joy-
stick trapping slows program execution. Therefore, if
you execute
a STRIGO
ON statement to enable joystick button trapping, we
recommend that you also execute a STRIGO
OFF statement
when you no longer need to check for joystick button activity.
If you press a joystick button after
a STRIG() OFF statement is
executed, BASIC does not remember that the joystick buttons
were pressed when joystick trapping
is turned on again.
Example
See STRIG.
