Hello,

   I am seeking a way to tell whether or not a key has been pressed on
a keyboard. i.e something like this:
  
     while (1)
     { ...statements....
      if "a key has been pressed" {...statements}
      ...statements...}

the problem i keep running into is that getc,getchar etc..all WAIT for
a key to be pressed. I would just like to see IF one has been pressed.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance...

								bill.
