I'd like to run a program from within an emacs shell [M-x shell].  My
problem is that my program's main loop (where it polls the mouse/tablet)
does a getchar() BUT... the emacs shell only sends input to the running
process upon receiving a return.  So.. my problem is that I have to be
holding down the return key in order to track the cursor for my program.

Is there a way so that input to the shell can be fed directly into my
program without having to wait for a return?  ...And, still let me use [c-x
o] to switch emacs windows, etc.

If it matters, I'm using version 18.55.2 running on an HP 9000 model 835.

Thanks in advance,

david young
