I am the author of PBBS, and have had an ongoing problem with the one
character look-ahead buffer in BDOS.  All of my attempts to flush the
"extra" character have failed.  I am currently using the bdos function
6, for portability,  but even this call doesn't completely flush the
buffer.  Can you think of a way to force BDOS to flush this character?
Do you know of any programs that do it ?  Any pointers or help would be
greatly appreciated.
