Use getch() to read the keyboard input, echoing the output to the screen
yourself and positioning the cursor with gotoxy afterwards.  In the code
where you call gotoxy you can arrange to not position the cursor outside of
the 10 character field.  The function prototypes for both of the getch and
gotoxy functions are in the header file conio.h
