  I would read in everything form the keyboard character by character.
On an 11/23 you should be able to get away with that depending on 
how you do multiplexing or whatever.  Then you could count the number
of charictors input since the last return.  If it is say over 70, you 
could generate your own return the next time the user presses the 
space bar.
