raw keyboard input in PVWAVE?
type: item
description: I would like to know if there is a way to get "raw" keyboard input from inside a wave procedure or function. I'm running wave on a vaxstation 3200 running decwindows and I would like to allow the user to cancel input by hitting a single key (e.g. escape) or provide command key equivalents to menu selections. All the wave input routines just poll the keyboard and wait for the user to hit return before you can examine the input. Is there a way to get async input from wave via the call_vms routine? Any hints would be greatly appreciated Gary leydon bitnet Leydon@yalemed Internet Leydon%bruce.decnet@venus.ycc.yale.edu
