I'm writing an VIO (if that's what a character based app able to run in a
window is called) app using C Set/2.

I've noticed that kbhit() and getche() are only present in the migration
libraries and the documentation sounds like "don't use the migration libraries
for new programs".

Well, what should I use instead? I don't want a PM app and I don't want to
press RETURN. Should I use an OS/2 API like some category 4 Keyboard Control
IOCtl Command?

Why isn't kbhit() and getche() supported in the IBM C extensions and only in
the migration libraries?
