I assume you are using allegro. 'textout_centre'
Im not aware of any routines in the library that allow a scanf user
input from any video modes other than textmode.

You need to write your own scanf routine for allegro. It's easy to do.
Just put all KB input into a 255 char buffer and update the screen with
the char buffer. When the ascii code for <enter> shows up, just pass
all of the previous chars to the designated array and RETURN *p;
