Message-ID: <1993Apr2.094834.120157@marshall.wvnet.edu> (raw)
How do you read the keyboard in such a way that the user doesn't need to press
return at the end of their response, but can merely hit a single key and some
action will happen?
Are there any ftp'able packages out there that draw 'simulated' gui features on
a VT200-type screen (or a PC with ANSI.SYS) for instance:
______
Quit? or a 'menu' | FILE |__
_____ _____ | Open... |
| YES | | NO | | Close |
~~~~~ ~~~~~ | Quit |
requester with 'buttons' ~~~~~~~~~
