*****************************************************************************
* This subroutine takes input characters, finds first token.  Also IF the token
* is a Mnemonic, THEN it notes its associated field number.
* If the type-ahead buffer is empty, this routine waits FOR at least one
* character, but takes characters until time out.  
*****************************************************************************

*****************************************************************************
*	Arguments TO the function are:
*		delay.interval - The length in milliseconds of naps TO take
*			while waiting FOR timeouts
*		
*		sequential.delay.time - The length of nap TO take beFORe
*			assuming a complete keystroke has been received
*
*		es.delay - The length of nap TO take beFORe
*			assuming an escape (special) character has been
*			received
*
*		alpha.size - The size of the the alphabet vectors
*
*		alpha.strings - Vector of tokens that are TO be recognized
*			This vector must be stored in decreasing size,
*			and length of longest string is in element 0
*
*		alpha.codes - Value TO be associated with each token
*
*		escape.code - The number of element which is TO be treated
*			specially.  The string FOR this element must be
*			of length 1.  TypiCALLy this is a character which
*			is a token when it appears alone, but which may
*			start other strings.  In most cases this will be
*			the character ESCAPE (char 27).
*
*		mnemo.code - The code TO be returned IF a mnemonic is found
*
*		unknown.code - The code TO be returned IF no match is found
*
*		mnemo.count - The number of mnemonics TO be accepted
*
*		menu.mnemonic - Dynamic array of single letters which are 
*			tokens.  There must be exactly mnemo.count mnemonics
*			provided.
*
*		left.over - Characters which were taken off the type-ahead
*			buffer but not allocated TO any token yet.  This
*			is both input and output.
*
*		input.code - The matching element code of alpha.codes which
*			corresponds TO the token found, or mnemo.code or
*			unknown.code.
*
*		mnemos - The number the mnemonic that matched, or the
*			character which matched nothing.
*

*****************************************************************************
* This is a complicated problem.  An Escape is defined as an Escape
* followed by nothing else.  For how long?  That is a halting problem.
* Due TO network propagation delays, must allow at least es.delay.
* An Escape-sequence is an Escape followed by certain valid combinations 
* in that same 2 seconds.  Any other series of characters followed by a 
* shorter delay (sequential.delay.time) is TO be analyzed, 
* and is either valid or invalid.
*****************************************************************************


*****************************************************************************
* No left-over characters.  Wait FOR at least one character, and
* accept as many as are in type-ahead buffer already (up TO the 
* maximum size sequence)
