how to "wait for any key"

[Alexander Malkis]

What is the most portable way of "waiting for any key", i.e. the user
who runs a program from the console should observe the following:

- the program stops running
- as soon as the user presses any keyboard key (alphanum/Enter), the
program continues.

Thanks a lot,
Alex.
