  12. I am trying to read the arrow keys from a PC keyboard in C. So far
  13. the calls to getch(), getc(), getchar(), have been unsuccessful
  14. because the keys don't seem to have a corresponding ASCII code (they
  15. seem to send 2 characters..?) I also need to read some regular keys
  16. like Q,S, etc... 
  17. Could someone tell me how to read them directly, please.
