Hi,
Does anyone know a way I can get input from the console without having the user hit return.

Say for example I display a menu, like so:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[ MAIN MENU ]

[1] Create new account
[2] CLose account
[3] Display all accounts
[4] Display selected account

[5] Exit

Awaiting Selection:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

now say the user hits the number 1 key, I want the program to know he's/she selected the first opention as soon as he presses that key, without having to type 1 then hit return etc.

Oh one more thing does anyone know how to change text colour under the console and place text at given cordinates ?

[b] THANKS IN ADVANCE [/]
