Hello!

I have been trying to get characters on the console without the need to

press enter using the |read-char| function.

The section 17.4.1 of Gambit's manual explains that setting the property

buffering of a port should be enough to get chars without #\newline.

But I wasn't able to make it work with |current-input-port| or |console-port|.

(define (getchar)

(port-settings-set! (current-input-port) (list buffering: #f))

(let loop ()

(write-char (read-char (current-input-port)))

(loop)))

I have been told that one option is to change my terminal settings to raw mode.

I have also tried to use telnet and I was able to make it work properly with the

client on mode character.

But, as far as I understand, there should be no need of telnet or raw terminal mode.

What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance,

Phil
