Remarks inkeyc returns the key code of the key pressed. If
no key was pressed (WAIT = FALSE) 0 is returned.

returned. This function is similar to getchar()
except input is not echoed to the screen and inkeyc
will detect any key press (any standard keypress.
It cannot distinguish between the grey '+' key and
the white '+'. This function is interrupt driven.
It will detect ALT combinations, Del, PgUp,
function keys, etc., any keyboard INTerrupt
accepted keys.)
Return value returns the key code of the key pressed, from 1 to
511, all letters are capitalized. If WAIT = FALSE,
and no key is pressed, zero is returned.
