Press Any Key to Begin?

Hello! I have this blinking "PRESS <ANY KEY/ENTER> TO BEGIN."

--- Code: Pascal [+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 = document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x = document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++) { x[i].style.maxHeight='none'; x[i].style.height = Math.min(x[i].clientHeight+15,306)+'px'; x[i].style.resize = "vertical";}};} ---repeat writeln (' PRESS <ANY KEY/ENTER> TO BEGIN'); GotoXY(1,15); delay(1500); DelLine; delay(750); GotoXY (1,15);until KeyPressed = true; cursoron;end; clrscr;writeln;writeln ('What is your name?');readln (PlayerName);
but I don't want whatever pushed to appear~ for example, if "j" was to be pushed by the user, I don't want that to appear in the line when the program is reading the PlayerName. I think what I'm aiming for is either suppressing the input of the KeyPressed or a different loop that would allow me to have that blinking text until the input was 'Enter.'

Could anyone please help me figure this out? :) Thank you!

Better:

--- Code: --- while KeyPressed do ReadKey;

--- End code ---

Why?
If user presses a function key, there are 2 keys in the keyboard buffer, and your code only "eats" one.

(At least that's how it used to be in the old TurboPascal days).

Thank you so much for teaching me! It totally makes sense now! :D
