Also, is your program all 2D/text? If so, you may not even need sprites (which initialise the 3D system and is the reason your Input isn't seen).

You could just paste the image on the screen instead of turning it into a sprite.

I eventually got inpt working by:-
load image "ladybird.bmp",1
sprite 1,200,200,1
set cursor 10,100

name$=MyInput("Name? ")

using function:-
Function MyInput(input$)
clear entry buffer
Do
Input2$=Entry$(1)
Text 100,300,input$+input2$
If returnkey() and ret=0 then exit
If returnkey()=0 then ret=0
sync
Loop
Endfunction input2$

Beware! the function MyInput(input$) works fine, BUT remember that on leaving the function the return character is appended to the end of the returned string, and may play havoc with your following code!
I spent hours before finding this out.......
You can of course remove the character by "name$=left$(name$,len(name$)-1)".
