A question I haven't been able to find a definite answer for:

I'm looking into the potential for distributed programming using MPI, as
a means
for teaching distributed computing.  One problem I have been running
into is
I/O to the keyboard through any process except 0 (the master).  My
question is,
is it possible for a process other than pid 0 to read from STDIN?
