 getche()                Get a Character from Console with Echo

 #include   <conio.h>                    Required for declarations only

 int        getche(void);

    getche() reads a single character from the console and echoes it to
    the current text window.  If a CONTROL-C (Ctrl-Break) is entered, the
    system executes an INT 23, and the character is not returned.

       Returns:     The character read.  There is no error return.

          Note:     If the character returned is 0x00 or 0xE0. then a
                    function key or cursor positioning key has been
                    pressed, and another call is required to access the
                    actual key code.

   Portability:     MS-DOS only.

   -------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------

    The following statements print a prompt, get characters from the
    console, and store them in a buffer. The characters are echoed to the
    screen as they are typed.

           #include <conio.h>
           #include <ctype.h>
           #include <stdio.h>

           int ch;
           int x = 0;
           char buffer[35];

           main()
           {
                printf("Enter your name: ");
                while(isalpha(ch = getche()))
                     buffer[x++] = ch;
            }
