I wonder if anybody can help me. Is it possible to input an integer
in Turbo Pascal while having the echoing of the digits suppressed
as they are being typed in. I know that it is possible to read each
digit in individually and suppress the echoing while this is being
done, and then convert the data into an integer - but is
there anyway in which an integer can be directly read in without
using any conversions or similar tricks?
