How can I get the ESC key to work in a console application?

I have:

i=console.read
if i=27 then
{exit my code}
end if

But, when I hit the ESC key nothing happens. How can I get it to work?
My windows application uses ESC to exit forms, and I want this to also
use ESC.

Thanks in advance.

The default console mode is line input -- you won't get data until the
ENTER key is pressed. Maybe if you switch to character mode you'd get
the behavior you're looking for. See:
