ANSI C standard says `fflush' effect on stdin is undefined.  In DJGPP, it 
does nothing.  So if stdin has some characters pending, `getchar' will 
pick them.

The best way to handle screen I/O is to use screen-oriented functions 
(cputs and cprintf for output, cgets and getch for input).  Look them up 
in the library reference.
