--- The code below, put it in an include or just in your program and then:

-- use get_key () to get a new key
-- use put_key (key) or put_key ({key, key, key}) to put a new key

-- That's it, you're welcome ...

sequence buffer
integer bindex

function old_get_key ()
    return get_key ()
end function

function get_key ()
integer char
    if length(buffer) then
        char = buffer[length(buffer)]
        buffer = buffer[1..length(buffer)-1]
        return char
    else
        return old_get_key ()
    end if
end function

procedure put_key (object x)
        buffer = x & buffer
end procedure
