Subject: Re: getch without echo?

When using getkey() you might have the problem, that the keyboard buffer is
not empty. So you get characters you entered an hour ago...

use:

#include <pc.h>

while(kbhit())
  getkey();

to clear the buffer BEFORE you read characters from the keyboard with getkey().
