I trying to display a prompt so that the cursor stays at the end of the
prompt.  When I try

   printf("\nThis is a prompt: ");

nothing appears until after I strike a key that is caught by getche.  
I tried this on my workstation here at work and it works as expected.

What am I doing wrong?  Do I need to update my version of djgpp?  Does
someone have a better way of displaying prompts?  Please help a rookie.

Yours,

Derrick Early
