This must be without a doubt a FAQ, but I was unable to find a FAQ list
among unread messages....

	I'd like to accept three different types of input from
	a keyboard (Sun IPC - running OpenWindows 3.0, 4.1.2)
	using C.  The c.lang FAQ stated that this sort of thing
	is a system dependent question rather than a C question.

	The three types of input are :

		A single enter (e.g. Press enter to continue...)
		A single character (e.g. a menu selection)
		A character string that may have imbedded blanks
				(e.g. a data item)

I've been racking my brain, trying different combinations, asking everyone
I could and none of the suggestions seem to work.
