might want to stick a "wend" after your sleep too. When your input goes inactive you'll likely get a syntax error. Also stick a () on the end of your isMoving (it's a function) not a sub.

If Not IsActive (input4) Then   
Code "G1 X 0.020"
While ismoving ()
Wend
sleep (1000)
setDro (0,0)
end if

Hows this?

well you could stick it before the sleep but after would be better  ;D
