Hey all,

  I seem to be having problems reading keys from the keyboard.  This is
probably a really dumb question because I've missed something obvious, so
bear with me.  Here's a snippet of code which shows my problem:

int c;

while (c=getkey() != 'q') {
	printf("%d\n",c); fflush(stdout);
}

  Now, the strange thing is that all this prints out is 1's; in other words,
I'm reading ASCII character 1 no matter what I press... yet pressing the Q
key exits the program just fine.  What am I doing wrong or what am I
forgetting?
