It has problems now! :)
In latest Rebol/View 1.2.1, 'read has no refinement "/wait".
I modified it like this:
kbhit: does [to-string read/binary/part console:// 1]
which works a little bit strange with arrow keys etc:
>> kbhit
== "^["
>> [A ; pressed up arrow
but works ok for other keys:
>> ch: kbhit
== "d" ; pressed "d" key
