 BP> Will do! Thanks! I had given up hope of using cin.

Bill,
    Unfortunately this routine will not alllow your expected hotkeys...  The
CR is still required.  For that you'll net the getch() approach suggested by
others.  Remember that it is considered by form to mix lowlevel keyboard I/O
with cin/cout... but I believe the stdio flag (as set in my example) allows
this to work properly.  Test thoroughly and let me know how it goes cause I'm
interested in your results.

    Sorry, I can't help on this one...  I'm brand new to OS/2 myself and
haven't had a chance to fully explore the PM side of programming yet.  But I'm
anxious to get into it.  So if you run in to something that looks good let me
in on that too!
