Subject: Question about character input

I am working on an text-based application (no GUI involved) and am 
wondering if there is a way to get character input back from the user but 
replacing each displayed character as it is typed with a '*' - e.g. to hide 
a password being typed in.

I figured I could just do a getc, then putc the meta sequence for the 
Delete character but it isn't working at all..

Any ideas? I'd love some help and would greatly appreciate a quick example 
that shows that this is possible. 

Thanks in advance!
Andy
