Below is part of the code for a password program which I wrote. However,
wheneve I run the program, the "ENTER PASSWORD HERE" only appears after a
carriage return is entered. In other words, I have to type the password in
before it prints that message. If I hit return, it accepts that as the
password. I wrote this program on a pc and used a MS-DOS compiler. Does
anyone know why and how I can fix this?

Thanks in advance.

      putch('*');
      count++;
    }
