Characters generated by a zmodem download are interfering with hot-key
capability in a menu-based script. I'm grabbing a character from the
terminal with this function:

GetChar()
{
stty raw
reply=`dd if=/dev/tty bs=1 count=1 2>/dev/null`
stty -raw
echo ""

Quote:}

I was using this method to throw away the extra characters, but on the
new Sun server running SunOS 5.5, it hangs the terminal:

sz $HomeDir/$NewFile > dljunk 2>&1

I've seen lately how to bypass a read after a time delay, but how can I
continue after a time delay following the collection of the zmodem
termination characters?

TIA,
