The FAQ list has this question [7 I think].  However, reading
Marc J. Rochkind's book, "Advanced Unix Programming" will help,
in particular he gives the code for a `cready' function that
tells whether is a char is waiting, and `cget' to get it.
    That is an excellent book for programming in Unix, and is 
well worth the money spent.
