        I meant that exit(0) gets executed.

        No (not on GNU/Hurd).

        No, it's blank (when the program runs).

        Until I interupt it, yes.

        Yes, you are quite right and that probably explains the
      strange behaviour on SGI.  I neglected to add it because I was
      more interested in getch() not doing what I expected, and
      GNU/Linux tidied up the terminal for me so I didn't otherwise
      notice the problem.

        I wondered if it had something to do with the keyboard
      translator...

        But not as weak as my spelling, apparently.

        Thanks,
