     I cannot find a way to directly read input from the keyboard, character
by character.  The routines I know of in C all require the user to hit <return>
at the end of the line to signal to the computer that input is done.  If there
is some way around this, I would greatly appreciate it.
					Thanks,

P.S.     If there is no C command for this, is there a run-time procedure 
in VAX/VMS for this?
