You probably need a low-level I/O package for this. Hopefully, this
package was provided by your compiler vendor. If not, you may need to
develop a bindings package for the I/O package on your system. For
example, I developed some software to process keyboard input in the way
that you mentioned and the compiler vendor, Verdix, provided a bindings
package to curses, which is the Unix package (written in C) that handles
such things.
