[Haskell-cafe] Re: Read a single Char

[Hans van Thiel]

Hello,

I have a similar question. When I use getChar with Hugs the newline
(caused by pressing 'Enter')  seems to be carried over into the next
call of main, where it is treated as a single input character. 
The workaround is getLine and head, but it would be nice to drop the
newline right away. I suppose the solution offered here: 

hSetBuffering stdin NoBuffering 

will have the desired effect, but is there another way?

Thanks,
