Is this under unix or under dos?  If it is under unix you have to play 
some fun games with the termio interface, which is a bit tedious to 
explain.   The other route to go would be to use curses, which will allow 
you to control turning echo and cbreak mode on and off, as well as reading 
in characters one at a time.  The man page is pretty useless though, you 
might want to go to a library and see what you can find.

If you want info on doing it with termio (or sgtty, the equiv under bsd 
4.3) I can post the code I use to do this in yabbs.
