I use DOS interrupts and go directly read the keyboard. There is at least one
funny situation like that.  I found that when you start a program with
standard input redirected:

   dothis <withme

you can't get back to the keyboard after the contents of <withme have
been sucked in.  However, the DOS interrupt method can then be used
to look at the keyboard.
