For all of the people advocating the readkey() or some such
other mechanism to get get the next character without an echo
there are some enviroments were this is not possible. In the
IBM VM/CMS enviroment the front processor doesn't give the
main machine any of your keystrokes until you hit <enter> or
one of the PF keys (Blue speak). So in the CMS enviroment
it is not possible to implement this routine. I am sure that
most enviroments that can implement this function do. To
implement a standard function for all your programs across
all your favorite enviroments create a function called readkey()
and make it do the right thing for each enviroment. See that
wasn't so difficult after all.
