Thanks, I can now catch Esc being pressed, but I'm not sure how to use
IO::select. The Pickaxe book doesn't go into a lot of detail. What would
be the readArray in this instance, (I'm lookiing at p332 & p426 of Programming
Ruby)	and what exactly is returned from the function call, and how do I 
extract from it what character has been pressed? 

Also, before, for instance, when I typed in an up arrow, ^[[A came up on the
screen. Now that I am catching Esc, [A comes up. How can I get it so that
nothing shows up on the screen.
