call View.Update whenever you want the screen to be updated?

You could set it to "nooffscreenonly".

View.Update
put "type something "..
View.Update
get something
View.Update

still this doesnt let the user see what he/she is typing, its just blank..

You are calling that last View.Update only after the full get statement is done. Presumably you want View.Update after a keystroke, not a get.

or, you know, you could use "nooffscreenonly" before the get statement...
