Subject: How to read a single character from DOS prompt in windows (without <Enter>)?

Can anyone tell me how to get a single character from the command line
prompt without the user pressing <Enter>?  This would be in response
to a Yes/No question or a number from a simple printed menu.

I did notice something in my "The Ruby Way" book which talked about
the feature being in TK.  Is there nothing in standard Ruby?

Thanks,
