I am looking for some routines  in C ( Turbo C 2.0 preferable but anything
will do ) that will let me ask the user some questions. I want something
like ask(char *buffer,int length) and will return an asciiz string or similar
but when asking, will show something like
":                        :" (minus quotes) and will have the area in a
different colour or something. Also I want it to handle the normal backspace,
insert modes and delete keys etc. Any ideas ? Thanks.
