BS2 - Gameshow lockout Controller - Need help!

Hello Forum!
I am in a bind. I told a friend I could make him a lockout controller for his 'rock n roll' gamshow nite at the bar he works at. I have contructed the hardware - basically it is 3 relays, and 4 active-lo buttons. There are lights on the 3 relays and the fourth button is for the host. I want a bunch of other special effects also, but these are the core requirements. Thanks!
The following Code creates a nice cycle effect off the lights. I was hoping someone could recommend a good method to a) read the 3 inputs(pins 0 to 3) and then stop the animation and light only the winning light(outputs 8 to 10). I am very rusty with the PBASIC. Havent programmed a stamp in a year. I will upload the code and a schematic once it is all working. I am thinking i need to read port a INL, and then set OUTb = INL, but i cannot quite get it!
Input 0 - 2: the Contestant buttons - active lo
Input 3 : the host button - active lo
output 8-10 : the relay control lines - active hi
Thanks in advance!
Robert

DO
FOR thePin = 8 TO 10 ' loop through pins
TOGGLE thePin ' toggle current pin
DEBUG HOME, BIN4 OUTA ' show on Debug
PAUSE 105 ' short delay
NEXT
LOOP ' repeat forever
