Controlling gets(0) color

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message 

This problem is most vexing.

I use gets(0) to get input from the keyboard.  I want that text to be
displayed in a certain color.  For example, I put the prompt in the
standard dos white on black, then I use gets.  As I type, gets() displays=

the input.  I've tried text_color(), I've tried shading prior to the
gets(0) call.  No matter what I do, gets overwrites what I've shaded; it
insists on displaying white on black.  No changing of foreground or
background color.  What can I do?

This is one of the few times where I wish this library routine wasn't bui=
lt
into the interpreter.
