  -------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------
 
    The following statements print a prompt, get characters from the
    console, and store them in a buffer. The characters are echoed to the
    screen as they are typed.
 
        #include <conio.h>
        #include <ctype.h>
        #include <stdio.h>
        int ch;
        int x = 0;
        char buffer[35];
 
        main()
        {
             printf("Enter your name: ");
             while(isalpha(ch = getche()))
                  buffer[x++] = ch;
         }
