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'                 ~~~~~~~~~
