Mike,
  I have been mainly using gets(), but how do you handle a case where for
example you open a box with 3 lines by 15 characters, where the user is asked
to enter a 10 character maximum name. The user starts entering characters and
doesn't stop at 10 but enters 16, which promptly scrolls the top line out of
the window. The program doesn't have any way of knowing what characters or how
many have been entered, until the return key is pressed.
  I want to change the routines I have now, so I can get 1 character at a time
and then act on what is being entered.
