   Hi Richmond,   
      
   I'm still running a 32-bit system, so I can't help you much with 64-bit.   
   I can manage to do this in 32-bit. What you show here looks right (I   
   think) but I notice you're still pushing and popping registers that   
   would apply to 32-bit. Makes me wonder how you're turning off canonical   
   mode. Not file descriptor 2, I hope! If all else fails, show us that   
   part, too... although it should be obvious whether sys_read is waiting   
   for the "enter" key or not. Good luck!   
      
   Best,   
   Frank
