Try this:
DO
    A$ = INPUT$(1)                      '1 char. input from user
    IF A$ = CHR$(8) THEN                'Check for backspace CHR$(8)
        B$ = LEFT$(B$, LEN(B$)-1)       'Go back 1 char, when backspace 
pressed
    ELSE
        B$ = B$ + A$                    'When no backspace, add A$ to B$
        IF LEN(B$) = 20 THEN            'Check lengt of B$
            BEEP                        'To long, beep& message
            LOCATE 20,1:PRINT "You are over the limit! Max. 20 chars!"
        END IF
    END IF
LOOP
I did not test this, I just typed it from my brainz, so don't expect to much 
from it =)
p.s: waarom schrijf ik dit niet via netmail in het nederlands???
