I am writing a program in C that requires a menu with four choices,
I, D, L, and Q for Insert, Delete, List and Quit.
I want to have it so that the program can key an ASCII value for the key
from the VT100 terminal without having to have the user type RETURN.
I tried using getchar() but inputs an entire line up to the RETURN, returns
the first letter, and shoves the rest in a buffer that is emptied the next
time getchar() is called.
Any ideas?
Thanks in Advance,
