I'm afraid I know absolutely nothing about assembly language or how to
implement it in to a C program. (Although, while I was playing around
here with the source for InKey, I did manage to learn a little, but not
enough to help this problem in any way.)

Anyway, I was hoping there was someway you could call the inkey that
came with Basic09, OS-9 LII. But so far, all of my attempts have been in
vain.

As for Gene's reply, if I could get an example to study the
implementation of how he used getc (*path, buf) and ungetc (*path, buf)
in order to emulate inkey, I would appreciate it. :)

If anyone has played with the old Microsoft C and Borland compilers,
they had a function that was declared in the conio.h header. (I think
Borland still might support the old 'getch ()' function, but I think
Microsoft has long forgot terminal support.) Anyway, 'getch ()' is more
of what I'm looking for.

Thanks again.
