I meant to say that if the buffer contains keystrokes that were from
some time ago and I want to totally disregard them and wait for new
presses. I want do some code such as:

//flush old unwanted keys
    flush_kb_buffer();
//wait for new presses
    while (kbhit ())
          getkey ();

Thanks
Simon
