I am looking for an easier way to interact with a TSO user from a
program than using the PUTLINE, GETLINE, PUTGET, TPUT, TGET, or TPG
MACROs which IBM supplies.  My requirement is to be able to issue a
prompt on a line and have the user enter the response on the same
line.  Does the C environment support the Unix semantics, such that I
could have code like:

        printf("...");  /* No \n at the end of the string */
        gets(...);

to do what I want?  Note that the program is fundamentally
interactive, and there's no way for me to have a CLIST run "before"
the program to get the information.  The program must be able to
interact directly with the user.  Thanks in advance.$$
