This code will hang at count = 10 until something is read from the command prompt. How do I avoid this block?

That isn't what happens running your code on my system. I waited until the count reached 14 the typed 'x' 3 times and ^C once:

c:\test>junk85
test, count:0
test, count:1
test, count:2
test, count:3
test, count:4
test, count:5
test, count:6
test, count:7
test, count:8
test, count:9
test, count:10
test, count:11
@test, count:12
@test, count:13
test, count:14
                x->120
@test, count:15
                x->120
test, count:16
                x->120
@test, count:17
Terminating on signal SIGINT(2)

Hard to advise on how to avoid something that doesn't happen?

What if I tell you I'm using ActiveState 5.8 on a Windows machine?

I, too, am seeing a "hang" at "test, count:10" (under Activestate 5.12.4/Windows XP). And I must note that I'm not seeing that "hang" under Ubuntu-"Natty Narwhal".

I used AS 5.10.1 on Windows above. I just tried it with AS 5.8.9 and it blocks as you describe.

I do not have an explanation for that, but the work-around is obvious. Upgrade.
