You can do it by poking around with the buffer pointer in the BIOS's data
space, but I forget offhand how that works.  The Interrupt List (Simtelnet:
inter* in info/) will tell how.  However, there is a somewhat less efficient
solution that should still work:

while (bioskey(1)) (void)bioskey(0);

See the bioskey docs to know how this works.
