If you have the Meridian compiler for the PC, use the tty package.  Similar
packages exist with other pc based compilers.  If you figure out how to do this
 
with a UNIX based compiler, let me know.

Hi
I have a little problem: Is there some simple way to make a program to stop
on a wanted place in the code and proceed when you pressed a key ?
i.e.
This code
     
dummy : char;
     
begin
  -- do something;
  text_io.get(dummy);
  -- so something else;
end;
     
This piece of code will stop at get(dummy) until you pressed a key followed
by return. I would like to now if it's possible to swap text_io.get() with
something else such that it's enough to press any key whithout pressing return
afterwards.
     
Thanks
