I think the below code is what your after,
I also would point you to EE Editor by David Cuny
EE has a .e file named keys.e that will allow to get the key
press number so you can specify what key will take you out of the loop..

Good Luck! euman at bellsouth.net

--BEGIN CODE

include graphics.e

constant SCREEN = 1,
             TRUE      = 1,
             ENTER    = 13

procedure user_input()
-- get user input from keyboard ---modified by Euman for example
    object key

   while TRUE do
    key = get_key()
         if key = ENTER then
            exit
         end if
         if key = -1 then
         else text_color( GREEN )
                puts(SCREEN, key)

         end if
    end while
end procedure

text_color( YELLOW )
puts( 1, "Enter something here: " )
user_input()

-- END CODE
