Does anyone know a way to get unbuffered keyboard input (i.e. one 
character at a time without waiting for ENTER) using DEC Ada 83 for 
VAX/VMS?  Our curriculum at Cal Poly Pomona uses Ada, and NONE of the 
students/faculty has found an answer to this seemingly simple problem.  

Perhaps it's possible to import a foreign C function to do the input, but 
I would like to have an Ada-only solution.  Does anyone know how to do 
this?  Please send E-Mail, I will post a reply.  Thanks in advance!
