_getwch loops calling ReadConsoleInput until a key event is read. The
key can be typed manually in the console, or posted (i.e.

This occurred during testing while trying different options. And I was
able to reproduce this several times. Why? I do not have an answer. This
is one reason why I posted the code. I
Ok Dennis,
You were correct. The following also works in the Windows 10 command window.
import time
import msvcrt

Thanks very much Chris,
This code worked perfectly for "Enter". Your knowledge of Python and
more specifically this elegant solution are greatly appreciated. I now
know that I need to learn more about threads. :-)
