Subject: [ruby-talk:9106] Grabbing a char from the keyboard...

How does one accept a character from the keyboard 
as soon as it is pressed?

I was hoping for some halfway platform-independent
way... I naively tried to set STDIN.sync=false, but it 
didn't work (1.6.1 on W2K).

Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks,
Hal
