[net.emacs] loops in MLisp

mckeeman@wivax.UUCP (01/18/84)

I need to be able to check the keyboard to see if ^C (for
instance) has been struck to get my mocklisp program out of
a loop.  I need to do this without hanging up because no
key has been struck.  Something like:

(if
  (keystroke-pending) (look-at-it-and-do-something)
)

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

The mods I sent out about a year ago included a function called
(pending-input) which returned >0 if there was pending keyboard input,
0 if not, and -1 if it cannot be determined.
