Surely there is a way, but it's not portable.
On Turbo C++ and MS C (and quick C I guess), you can use either getch() or
getche().  The difference is that getche() echos the characters you type, 
while getch() doesn't.
You should include conio.h if you're going to use those functions.

Hope this helped,
