 getche()                Get a Character from Console with Echo

 #include   <conio.h>                    Required for declarations only

 int        getche(void);

    getche() reads and echoes a character from the console.  If the
    character is CONTROL-C (Ctrl-Break), an INT 23 is executed, and the
    character is not returned.

    Returns:    The character read; no error return.

       Note:    If the character returned is 00h or E0h, then a function
                key or cursor-positioning key has been pressed, and
                another call is requred to access the actual key code.

 Portability:   Applies to 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;
           }
