Grabbing Escape key

[Dave Wood]

How do I use the escape key in an input routine? I looked in ncurses.h but
didn't see anything there except ESCDELAY.

I tried using 1 as a keycode but that doesn't seem to be working:

        int c = getch();
     switch(c)
     {
     case 1:
         return;
     }


Any help as always appreciated.
