Try the little following prog :

string (prompt) real (line) ----> string 

the prompt can be something like : "" or "Enter value:"
the real is the line on which the input should appear ( line 1 -> 8 ).
If the real is < 0 (ie -1 -> -8 ) then what you enter isn't displayed
( works like passwd )

This prog is idiot-proof, all the checkings are done.

I hope this is what you were asking for.
