homework

I'm writing a program in assembly using MIPS architecture for a class, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to grab an input character by a user and store it in a register to process.

The program would open a console, output a message, the user can then input a character and then this determines what is supposed to happen next in the program.

Like I said, I'm having trouble figuring out how to grab the character so that I can act upon it in the program.

thanks
