I am writing a program for my daughter where I have an animated
character that moves whenever "any" key is pressed.  The key
press simply causes to chatacter to continue along it's programmed
path.  If she decides to hold a key down forever, I would like for
that to be ignored and to not fill up the buffer and start beeping,
but just let me know when a key has been pressed when I ask.
I.E. a key press is what causes the action to continue.  Any help
would be appreciated.
