The "Microsoft C 5.10 Optimizing Compiler Run-Time Library Reference"
manual for the functions getch and getche states that when reading a
function or cursor key, the first call to either function will return
0 or EOH. This is misleading; EOH appears to be a constant that is
defined in an include file, though it is not. These functions actually
return 0 or 0xE0. The 0x convention is followed throughout the manual
for hexadecimal numbers, except in this case.
