The AmigaDOS SER: handler buffers serial input - i.e. it does not pass on
single input characters to the serial device, but rather stores up something
like 400 chars THEN passes them on.

You need something like an AUX handler to get single-char serial input via
an AmigaDOS level device.  There's an Aux-handler on one of the Fish disks.
