- I have gotten working code for ORCA/Pascal. The code uses the Keyboard Status
- Register to check if anything has been typed on the keyboard and then read the
- key once something has been typed. Once you read the register, you need to
- clear the keyboard strobe manualy though, no big deal...

- I had that code here in my VAX ccount TWO days ago, but deleted it... oh
- well, I'll just have to get it from my GS again... if no one posts code, I'll
- post it ASAP...
