Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

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.
