The C language does not support anything specific for that type
of input. Each o/s has a specific solution for this. For DOS
platforms, you can use the non-ANSI function getch() which
should be available in all DOS compilers. You might also want
to look at kbhit(). However, your code will not be portable to
other platforms.
