/*  ReadCmd  - returns next command from user
 *
 *  The ReadCmd waits for input from the user. The next keystroke is
 *  translated into a function that is not executed. Instead, the
 *  editor passes information about the function in the form of a
 *  structure of type cmdDesc. This structure is declared in the file
 *  EXT.H and is described in Chapter 8 of the Microsoft Editor
 *  User's Guide. Once intercepted, the keystroke cannot be placed
 *  back for execution.
 *
 *  returns  Pointer to cmdDesc structure corresponding to next keystroke
