Hi All,

I know that IBM would like us all to leave behind the 16-bit APIs infavour
of the new 32 enviroment.  And that, in that spirit, we are no longer
supposed to be using functions such as KBD* and VIO*, for user I/O.

I would like to write a full-screen/windowed text application.  And I would
like to use the all 32-bit APIs.  So I have opened the keyboard with
        DosOpen("KBD" [etc]);

However, I'm not sure how usefull this is going to be.  I know that I
should get user input useing 
        DosRead();
With the HFILE returned from the function above.

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

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

Any ideas?

Thanks,
    Chris
