Ok. Check this out (untested code)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

#define ENTER 13

int main()
{
	int key = 0;

	while (key != ENTER) {
	      key = getch();
	      if (!key) {
		 key = getch();
		 switch (key) {
			case 'H': printf("UP\n"); break;
			case 'P': printf("DOWN\n"); break;
			case 'K': printf("LEFT\n"); break;
			case 'M': printf("RIGHT\n"); break;
		 }
		 key = 0;
	      }
	}
	return 0;
}
