We're using ms-pascal on a rainbow 100 running ms-dos.  We're
trying to read(ch) one char at a time from the communications
port, unfortunately the input seems to be buffered until receipt
of a carriage return.  We want each char as it arrives.  In the
Implementation Additions Section of the manual, we found reference
to Function DOS*QQ(1,0), which returns the next character typed,
but nothing comparable for the commications port.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ron Stanonik
