#119518 - At the same time!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Unfortunately the cpu can only do ONE thing at a time, but if you do many things fast enough, it will appear to the user to be at the same time. Normally anything faster than 50 times per second, the human eye is not fast enough to detect the change.

So for your code you could do:

begin:
one column of dot matrix
one 7segment digit
read pushbuttons
process pushbuttons
goto begin

The processor should be fast enough to do this so that it appears to the user to be 'at the same time'.
