Subject: getkey portability


I've just converted one of my djgpp programs to run under linux with
GRX2.0 and the svgalib.

In my DOS program I use extended keys suchs as the cursors and function
keys.  getkey returns numbers > 255 for these, but under linux I get
an Escape sequence.  This is a problem as the escape key is used to exit
the problem

Is there a PORTABLE way to read the extended keys for both DOS (using
djgpp v2) and linux.

Brendan.
