I have been having difficulty with my code recently.
The problem is the I can't get the code to accept the users info and do nothing until they press enter. Can someone help please.
Or at least point me in the right direction.

in general terms, try making an input parser. A small event loop thagt does nothing except take inpout characters and act upon them. A small text string buffer for the input usage, a variable to point to the end of the buffer. Have the conditions that gfollow:

any valid letter or punctuation character: add to buffer, bufptr+1
backspace: clear last buffer character, bufptr-1
return: end loop, string in buffer is their name.

This way, you can also filter out any wierd inputs they may try for crashing your program....

You do not provide enough information for anyone to really offer any assistance outside of a guess.

What platform are you coding for? What operating system, if any? Is this through an RS-232 or similar connection, or is the keyboard/mouse hooked up to the box directly?
