If you're using Turbo-Pascal, you should have a "kbhit()" function to
tell you whether any keys are queued, and a "kbread()" or something
similar to get those keys.  Turbo-C uses these, and I vaguely remember
something like this from TPascal v3.

You need the kbhit() test because kbread() (or whatever it's called) will
wait until it does get a key.
