The operating system is buffering your line of input so it can process
any rubouts you might do.
There are lots of ways to invoke OCAML in different operating systems,
so there isn't one way to get it to work. I just had this dialogue
under an xterm in linux that does something resembling what you want:
lobus:~> stty cbreak; ocaml
Objective Caml version 3.04
# 3+4;;
- : int = 7
# read_char stdin;;
Unbound value read_char
# input_char stdin;;
x- : char = 'x'
#
The "stty cbreak" gets rid of line buffering, so backspace becomes a
normal input character instead of rubbing out the previous character.
