[comp.editors] Needed: routine to edit a line on the terminal

bengsig@oracle.nl (Bjorn Engsig) (04/18/89)

I need a routine (in C) to do the following:

 - print a string of printable chars on the CRT

 - allow the user to edit it using key-left, key-rigth, some way of
   deleting and inserting (toggle insert/overwrite or insert-blank)
   all done in RAW mode.

 - return the edited string.

This is going to be part of a program posted to the net, so you must grant
me the rigths to do so.  I will of course give you the credit.
