It's not daft, it's linked to the way DOS (and DOS boxes) handles it's
keyboard input. Anyway, all it does is wait for a key to be pressed
and returns that.
If you are just waiting for a return, you could always use:
char buf[2];
scanf("%s", buf);
Althoguh I can't remember how to make scanf limit the number of
characters it puts in the buffer. I'm sure there's a better way to do
it than that, but my head hurts ATM, I need to drill it a bit to
relieve the pressure ;)
