ReadKey function
DECLARATION: ReadKey
PURPOSE: Reads a character from the keyboard
UNIT: CRT
REMARKS: A single character is read from the keyboard without
echoing it to the screen. If KeyPressed was TRUE before
the call to ReadKey, the character is returned immediately,
else ReadKey will wait for a key to be pressed.
If a special key is pressed (Function keys, cursor movement,
Alt keys, etc.) ReadKey will first return the Null character,
(#0), then it will return the extended key scan code.
NOTE: When the system variable, CheckBreak, is FALSE, ReadKey
will return a CTRL-C (#3) when CTRL-Break is pressed.
