Can command-line JScript, running in Windows script Host, read a
*single* character from the keyboard without needing Enter?  My old
16-bit Pascal directory program HUNT accepts single-character responses
for Yes/No/Quit, and it would be nice to have my 32-bit WSH version of
it do the same.

If anyone wants to look, the WSH is SEAKFYLE.JS ("documentation" is
SEAKFYLE.HTM), which is called by SEEK.BAT, all linked from
