I have come to a big problem doing a pager program to Amiga.
The program should work like more does in Suns (ls -l bigdir | more -8),
but broblems come when it is time to get some data from keyboard..
I am going to work with CSh pipes if it matters...

How can I steal the keyboard from the parent program (in this example
ls or is it CSh) and move the data to more program ?
More program gets its printable data from stdin or a file, but where is
the keyboard ?! Should I open the keyboard.device or what...

I am totally screwed.
