Thanks in advance to all who help.

Im working on a project where there has to be provisions for the following:

2 sets of momentary pushbuttons:

Set1 ON/OFF (turns an LED on / off)
Set2 ON/OFF (turns an LED on / off)

and 2 toggle buttons:

TOGGLE1 (turns an LED on / off)
TOGGLE2 (turns an LED on / off)

The momentary buttons work like a champ. Im running in to trouble with the toggles. When they activate, the program freezes until they are turned off. I need to, when either or both of the toggle switches are on to continue on with the program- i.e. reading the momentary buttons, ect.
Any help would be appreciated.
part of my code example is below:
Code:
do

' PLOW FUNCTION 
COUNTER1 = 0 ' Reset count
DO WHILE (PLOWUP = 0) OR (PLOWDOWN = 0) ' Loop while button pressed
PAUSE 1 ' Give the loop a 1mS execution time
counter1 = counter1 + 1 ' Count a loop (1mS)
IF counter1 = threshold1 THEN ' Reached threshold time?
PLOWOUT = PLOWUP

ENDIF

LOOP

' DUMP FUNCTION 

COUNTER2 = 0
DO WHILE (DUMPDOWN = 0) OR (DUMPUP = 0) ' Loop while button pressed
PAUSE 1 ' Give the loop a 1mS execution time
counter2 = counter2 + 1 ' Count a loop (1mS)
IF counter2 = threshold2 THEN ' Reached threshold time?
DUMPOUT = DUMPDOWN 
ENDIF

LOOP


;switch code in here??
