 I know... It's ncurses fault. I've successfully used the ESC in a BBS
software I was programming (and implementing with 30 lines) simply by
using a combination of select and read. If it could be done through serial
links, it can perfectly done in a console (the delay needed is shorter).
 but... we could also use Q, or F10... =)
