If you don't mind using conio functions instead of stdio ones, you can
do this:

#include <conio.h>

int main(void)
{
 while (kbhit()) getch(); // flush buffer before prompting
 cprintf("Prompt: ");     // prompt
 char reply=getch();      // get character; if you use getche() it
                          // will also be echoed
 return 0;
}

I'm not sure about a way to do this without using console functions.
