Many thanks to all the people who replied to my recent question I
posted in comp.os.msdos.programmer asking how to flush the keyboard
buffer in Borland C under DOS.

I received 3 different ways of flushing the keyboard buffer which
worked.  They are:

while (kbhit()) getch();

while (bioskey(1)) bioskey(0);

while (bioskey(1)) if (!getch()) getch();

Perhaps this could be included in the c.o.m.p faq list as I'm sure
it is something people want to do every so often.
