[ros-kernel] Re: MC and the console

[Phillip S. <ps...@cf...>]

The platform SDK page on SetConsoleMode() documents it.  Are you sure it 
doesn't call SetConsoleMode() somewhere?  It could possibly be that 
ReadConsoleInput ignores the line buffering, because it gets other events 
besides char input.  I think that is what it is actually, though it isn't 
documented in the psdk.  In that case, csrss needs fixed to not block 
ReadConsoleInput() to line buffer.
