Hi guys, I have a problem, I'm doing a menu where I want to put a input text and then display on the screen, read the manual that inkey has to use and str_cursor but I'm not getting, can someone help me please

What would you like exactly?

Please give some more infos for what the text should be.
Like:
Players name
Highscorename etc.

I want to hold something on the screen I type some text and then I type it appears on the screen what I typed, I tried using the example of AUM62 but tried to adapt for lite-c, but it appears not only the number zero on the screen and nothing happens

This is the code I'm using

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

STRING* my_str = " ";
var cursor_pos;


PANEL* my_pan=

{

pos_x = 0;

pos_y = 0;

layer = 1;

digits (150, 300, 2, *, 1, cursor_pos);

flags = VISIBLE;

}


TEXT* my_txt =

{

pos_x = 300;
pos_y = 10;
layer = 2;
string (my_str);
flags = VISIBLE ;

}


function edit_text()

{

if (inkey_active == VISIBLE)
{
return;
} // don't react if the player presses the "E" key several times

my_txt.flags = VISIBLE ; // display the text

str_cpy (my_str, ""); // reset the string

while (str_cmpi(my_str, "") == 1) // make sure that the player has typed something in

{

inkey(my_str); // show the cursor -> store the input in my_str

wait (1);

}

}

function track_cursor()

{

while (1)

{

cursor_pos = str_cursor(my_str);

wait (1);

}

}

on_e = edit_text;

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function main()
{
track_cursor();
video_mode = 7;
screen_color.blue = 150;

}
