Hi

I remember this was a perennial pain in the rear for me when I wrote my console based database on Linux. It's something to do with the console / terminal echoing back the input. There might be a way to turn it off, but I wrote a work around, which doesn't use gets()

object line 
object c 
 
line = "" 
while 1 do 
   c = wait_key() 
   if c = 10 then exit end if 
   puts(1, c)                   --to echo the character 
   --printf(1, " %d\n", {c})    --uncomment to echo the character number 
   line &= c                    --to append the character to line 
end while 
 
puts(1, line & " is a nice name! Also works with Chris.") 
 

Cheers

Chris
