simple use Font.Draw to display what the user is typing

something like

code:
var x, y : int := 100
var fontId : int := Font.New ("Arial:12")
var ch : string (1)

loop
    getch (ch)
    Font.Draw (ch, x, y, fontId, black)
    x += 10
end loop

you might wanna replace the
code:
x+= 10
with
code:
x += Font.Width (ch, fontId)

code:
var x, y : int := 100
var fontId : int := Font.New ("Arial:12")
var ch : string (1)
var word : string := ""

loop
    getch (ch)
    exit when ord (ch) = 10
    Font.Draw (ch, x, y, fontId, black)
    x += Font.Width (ch, fontId)
    word += ch
end loop


The Variable it gets stored in is word, this also outputs it to the screen.

Enter ends the loop and stops adding to the variable.

you are adding something together or adding something to a string. in an integer it will add the value and with a string it will add on a character. so
in x = 3
x+=2 will = 5
means the same thing as
x:=x+5

just a shortcut..
