Chris Mcbrien doth sayeth in a message unto All:

CM> So I have opened the keyboard with         DosOpen("KBD"
CM> [etc]);

  The handles 0 (STDIN), 1 (STDOUT) and 2 (STDERR) can be used with DosRead().

CM> However, how do I retrieve just one character?  For example,
CM> is the simple situation of "Press any key to continue".

CM> The DosRead function on the Keyboard device, won't return
CM> until it encounters a newline character!

  Don't use the keyboard device, use STDIN..

 See ya,

Craig
