  Function            getdatehk - inputs a date from the keyboard

  Syntax              char *getdatehk(void);

  Prototype in        keyboard.h

  Remarks             getdatehk inputs a date from the keyboard in the
                      form xx-xx-xx. Only digits, space and backspace are
                      valid input. Input is terminated when the ENTER key
                      is pressed. Video output is via Borland's console
                      i/o.

  Return value        if a valid date is entered, getdatehk returns a
                      string in the form xx-xx-xx, otherwise NULL is
                      returned.

  Example             #include <keyboard.h>
                      #include <stdio.h>
                      main()
                      {
                           char *c;

                           printf("What is today's date: ");
                           if ((c = getdatehk()) != NULL)
                                printf("Today is %s\n",c);
                      }

  Program output      What is today's date: 11-10-87
                      Today is 11-10-87
