Hopefully someone has already done this successfully.  I'm trying to take input
directly from the keyboard as a control device.  It won't help me to do a 'Get'
and wait for a <CR>.  I would like to be able to "sense" when arrow keys or certain
letters are depressed and take action accordingly.

I assume I will have to open the keyboard as a device (ie /dev/kbd) and then
do a "Get".  But does anyone know what the return value of the arrow keys on a 
keyboard are?  there is no reference to them in the Standard Package.

Thanx in advance for any help
