That was what I meant: You did not test it on a POSIX
system.

You wrote:

  if RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /win32/
    [...]
  else
    def getkey
      select( [$stdin], nil, nil, 0.01 ) ?  c = $stdin.getc : c = nil
    end
  end

As long as there are no parsing errors this alway works
under Windows. I tested it under Linux and there, it doesn't
work.
