I am attempting to use "raw" mode to read keyboard input without
interference from DOS processing of special chars (^C, ^S, etc.) I
find that reading chars works fine (DOS does not interfere), but if
attempt to use DOS function 0BH to check the keyboard input status,
DOS processes special chars like ^C even though raw mode seems to be
properly set.  Is there something I am missing, or does this simply
not work as I would like.
