C programming code for getch. Using getch in Dev C compiler. This works for 'enter'. How can it be changed to another key. Being the novie I am I assume something like getchar(4) or maybe getchar(g). If it's number codes, where can I find which number applies to which character?

Remarks
The _getch and _getwch functions read a single character from the console without echoing the character. None of these functions can be used to read CTRL+C. When reading a function key or an arrow key, each function must be called twice; the first call returns 0 or 0xE0, and the second call returns the actual key code.

These functions lock the calling thread and are therefore thread-safe. For non-locking versions, see _getch_nolock, _getwch_nolock.

-->The Microsoft-specific function name getch is a deprecated alias for the _getch function. By default, it generates Compiler warning (level 3) C4996. The name is deprecated because it doesn't follow the Standard C rules for implementation-specific names. However, the function is still supported.
We recommend you use _getch instead. Or, you can continue to use this function name, and disable the warning. For more information, see Turn off the warning and POSIX function names.
