Read the standard input with the Read instruction: Public Application_Read() Dim Keys As String ' Read up to (so the negative sign) 256 characters from the standard input Keys = Read -256 ...

If you don't read the standard input, the Application_Read will be called again and again, as there is always something to read! > Every key is mirrored by > the console (i. e. the program maybe even doesn't receive anything, or > standard input is directly connected to standard output).

Only that library has all the features to deal with terminal output and "real- time" terminal input. And I suggest you read all documentation you find on Linux/Unix terminal management, and look at the "stty" shell command.
