Does anyone know how to get immediate keyboard events from the 
default console?  (I.e: The one that is attached to the CLI.) 
I've tried finding it in the system lists (unsuccessfully) and
I've tried setting the raw keyboard events Ansi command:

	puts("\x9b" "1{");

The latter seems to lock to the program up permanently.  It
becomes impossible to get a linefeed because the return key
has been converted into an escape sequence, and getchar() seems
to want a complete line before continuing.

I need an example that will allow me to react to keyboard input
the way the Commodore supplied "more" command does.

I asked once before and got no replies, so I hit the books and I'm
still stumped.  I'd really appreciate the help, or any indication
of the right place to look.
