c++.windows.16-bits - WINIO keyboard input

reply Mark Evans <mevans zyvex.com> writes:
My WINIO 16-bit app works well.  Printf goes to screen (the WINIO text window).

Somehow scanf doesn't seem to work as well.  It basically hangs the program. 
Evidently I'm doing something fundamentally wrong but it's not clear what. 
Advice?

Thanks.

Code snippet would help...

We're talking scanf and getchar for example.  Just as you would use them in DOS.

My understanding of WINIO is that it redirects stdin and stdout so that the
WINIO console window works more or less like a DOS window with some extra
capabilities associated with Windows 
messaging (menus and the like).

My program is littered with printf's and they all work fine.  That would be
stdout.  It's the stdin that seems to have a problem.
