[ros-kernel] MC and the console

[Jason F. <jas...@ya...>]

Hey all

The console saga continues..

I've started to look at the input problems with MC now. Under Windows
the input works fine. Under ReactOS the console is clearly reading in
line mode.

In (rosapps/mc/pc/key_nt.c) MC makes this call (line 187):
win32APICALL(ReadConsoleInput(hConsoleInput, &ir, 1, &dw));

It then goes on to process the one key returned. It obviously expects
not to be in line mode.

Futher up in the same file, in init_key, hConsoleInput is retrieved
as follows:
win32APICALL_HANDLE (hConsoleInput, GetStdHandle (STD_INPUT_HANDLE));

I'm really starting to doubt that the console is expected to be in
line mode by default... is that documented anywhere?

- Jason
