Get command with font.draw and/or textboxes?

-----------------------------------

In simple terms... I want to "get" varriables but in font.draw mode so that the variables look nice early because I don't intend to cls (it would be impractical for my program). How can this be done?

Also, just for future referance, I'd like to know how to be able to "get" varriables with boxes. I've seen other people do it but couldn't figure it out. >_<

please search the forums, this is a very common question.

The answer involves turning on noecho, and using getch() to read variable values one letter at a time.

Boxes involve the GUI module.

Can't search for something I have no clue how to start. That's like searching for "giraffe" when all you know about it is "mammal."

With those key words, I have come accross

but I don't understand the complex first part...

you found exactly what you were lookin for  :) 

now you just need to learn enough programmin to understand it. Read the Turing Walkthrough and ask questions.
