Maybe this shouldnt be in this forum but this is the question.

I am woring an a 3d adventure game which requires text and input.

The text is no problem as the TEXT command works perfectly well.

I do have an issue when the player is asked to input some text. When I use the a$=input$("What Is your name?") for example. The input prompt is at the top of the screen , whereas all other text using the text command is situated where I want it.

Is there a way to specify the location that text and input prompt appears. I have a 3d game, animated characters, enemies etc but can`t figure this one out.
