[Dev-C++] How to ignore special characters on stdin?

[Christian S. <ca...@kr...>]

hi there,
as I stated before, I write a small console terminal for an application.
up to now, I found great help from this list. so thanks for that!
but now I encountered a new problem.

I am reading my commands from stdin.
but when you press an arrow key or alike, an escape sequence is printed
on the screen, which anoys a lot.

how can I prevent such behaviour, or (better) use these key for a small
command history within my app?

thanks a lot!
