For my game I want the players to input their names. I was wondering how you are suppose to get the input?

inkey

I know the function to get user input is inkey.
The question I have is where does the user input it on the screen.

The first thing I tried was putting the inkey into my program. However, when I did this I couldn't see the cursor waiting for the input.

I hope this makes it more clear as to what my problem is.

inkey only reads the input. u will need to display the text there on screen as and when it is read.

it wont display automatically. u need to display it yourself.

To give a few more details:
inkey reads the keyboard input and writes it into a string, thus you first need a string for your user input.
Then create a text object to display that string.
When the user is supposed to enter something:
1. switch the text visible (you might want to clear the string also)
2. call inkey with the string as parameter
3. handle the abort values (explained in the manual) of the inkey function to process the string further or to get on with the application
