 The built-in os has a function to read incoming keystrokes. But it also implements the functions to move the cursor while typing. This is not always a desired feature; imagine a case in which you want to make a menu with a controllable cursor around the menu entries. The current read() function won't let you.
-Thanks for your thoughts. It's helepd me a lot.

-In case I made you think the OS sucks, it doesn't (all the time). Because this OS is not Windows, we can access lower-level functions, such as os.pullEvent(). And that's the one that we're going to use:
-<pre>
-function rawread()
-    bRead = true
-    while(bRead) do
-        local sEvent, param = os.pullEvent("key")
-        if(sEvent == "key") then
-            break
-        end
-    end
-end
-</pre>
-This function waits for any key, then exits.

 This function waits for the Enter key to be pressed. If so, it writes "Enter detected" to the screen and exits.
