Yes. Override the display file to a data queue and then read the data
queue in your program. You can specify a timeout value for the data
queue. If the user presses Enter or a function key you will be able to
tell from the data queue contents and you can then read the display
file. If the data queue read length is zero you know it's timed out and
you can refresh the display or whatever.
