Check out the kbd functions. They will handle the keyboard for you if my
memory serves me right. They will keep track of things like whether your
terminal uses <ESC>[ or <CSI>.

If you cannot use the kbd functions it is time to use the quio
functions. You'll have to look up the programming examples in the
various manuals yourself. I don't remember anymore.
