Look in the Manx manual under Library Overview, page libov.17 where it describes console I/O. The CONSOLE (keyboard) is normally buffered by the system so you can't get a single character until you "flush" the buffer with a CR. The function ioctl(fd,cmd,stty) sets the mode of the console and can be set for unbuffered I/O. Look on page lib.25 for a description.
