Function 07h (7) Direct Console Character Input without Echo
Waits for a character from the standard input device. Does not echo,
and does not check for Ctrl-Break or Ctrl-C.
On entry: AH 07h
Returns: AL Character
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This function waits for a character from the standard input device.
When a character is available, the function returns its ASCII value in
AL but does not echo it to the standard output device.
Notes: A 0 returned in AL means that one of the "special"
characters (a function key or a cursor key, for
example) was input. Call the function again to read
the extended code of the special character (see the
Key codes table).
Does not execute an INT 23h in response to Ctrl-
Break or Ctrl-C.
