Sorry if this has whizzed by in this group before, but I would like to
know if someone has a solution to the problem of buffering raw keyboard
input on the ST, such as obtained by using the C routines Crawcin() or
Bconin(). There doesn't seem to be any buffering at all with these
routines, although I believe there is using the standard getchar (which
is no good for my purposes). I would like perhaps a full 80-char line of
typeahead and haven't been able to make sense of the keyboard queue
routines in the Megamax docs. Thnx in advance.
