Here is some code posted to CompuServe by Philip Keller that will prevent
the console from intercepting keyboard events.  I don't claim to understand
it, but it works.

|  DCtlHandle     dceH;
|  tty = fopenc ();
|  dceH = UTableBase [~ ((WindowPeek) tty->window)->windowKind];
|  (**dceH).dCtlEMask &= 0xFFC7;

Oh, I do know that you can use something like stdout in place of tty here.
