Micheal,

Unfortunately, that is difficult to answer without knowing which
compiler/operating
system you are using.
If, for example, you are using GNAT on DOS (which I suspect) the answer
is that
there are several posibilities for console I/O.
In general though, if you are using GNAT, you can call the C library
function
getch() from Ada, like in:
with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;
procedure Test is
function getch return Integer;
pragma Import (C, getch);
begin
Put ("Press a key: ");
Put_Line ("You pressed a key with scancode" & Integer'Image(getch));
end Test;
with the best wishes for the new year!
Jerry.
