- The problem of doing a direct keyboard read from Pascal presented a while
- ago is not in Pascal, but is an omission in the .CONSOLE driver. If Apple
- made the console driver, it is to be used and all text screen I/O should
- go through it. Yet there is no routine for a -Single character read
- -With cursor.
- This forces programmers to go to the hardware. This is exactly what Apple
- doesn't want. Maybe I'm missing something? Maybe not.
