Such things are beyond the responsibilities of the compiler. You need to look to other libraries to do this, such as ncurses, or the standard C library.

I believe getch() is part of ncurses, so look at that.

It doesn't have to do with gcc. getchar() should work fine under borland or gcc. Make sure your libraries are installed correctly.
