Use
The purpose of this call is to read a character from the input stream.
Notes
It waits to get the next character, i.e. you will only get the control back when, for example, a key is pressed.
The source for the input stream can be read with OS_Byte 177.
If cursor editing is enabled (see OS_Byte 4), then pressing a cursor keys will start cursor editing.
