Library /sys$common/syshlp/basichelp.hlb INKEY$  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  The INKEY$ function reads a single keystroke from a terminal opened  on  a
  specified  channel  and  returns  the  typed  key.   Escape  sequences are
  interpreted and are returned as mnemonic strings.

  Example

  key_stroke$ = INKEY$(0%, WAIT)
