I can't find how to do keyboard input in graphics mode. The simple hello world and my name is stuff is only achievable in screen mode.

Can you switch to input mode and back to graphics mode again?

A simple data grinding program just doesn't need graphics mode and isn't available for graphics?

I remembered seeing a graphic input routine in the code archives. Checked it out and it looks very easy to use.

If you think about it, even console mode is a graphic window with constraints. Such number of characters per line, font size, single color, etc..
