Are you prompting for input? Scanning or polling?

That's why I'd asked the user to be a little more clear on what they're looking for - simple user prompts, or a method to poll the keyboard (I suspect the latter). That being said, much will also depend on what type of application it is, and what is used to implement it (console,MFC,Win32,many others).
