For information on conio functions, read the libc docs ("info libc func
conio").

#include <conio.h>

void clear_key_buffer( void )
{
    while ( kbhit() )
        getch();
}

int main( void )
{
    char line[100];
    char c;
    int x;

    clrscr();       /* clears screen */
    cprintf( "Please type a word:  " );
    cscanf( "%s", line );
