The output from printf is line-buffered; nothing is printed until you send
a '\n' character. So, when it gets to 'a=getche();', the prompt is still in 
the buffer, not on the screen. If you call the function fflush(stdout);
before each getche(), it should work as you expected.

Okay, but I strongly suggest that you subscribe to the newsgroup / mailing
list; your questions may have been answered before (this one comes up farily
often, in fact).
