stdin and the keyboard

Hello,
I've got a quick question...
I am trying to write a replacement for the DOS more command. I would
like it to function as closely like the original as possible,
therefore piping of commands is needed, ie dir | more.
My problem is that when I get input from the command (dir) I set the
file pointer equal to stdin, but when I go to check if a key is
pressed getch() checks stdin and grabs a character from the command.
I can't get it to recognize the keyboard and the input command
separate instead of both being the stdin.
I am running Borland C++ on a PC if that helps any.
Any help would greatly reduce the frustration I am feeling!!! :-{
