Here is a function lifted directly from one of my games.
function scores_getname()
`get the users name for the highscore table entry
local name as string : local pointer as integer : local last_key as integer
local stop as integer
load image "menuenter.png",70,1
clear entry buffer : last_key = scancode()
repeat
cls 0
if scancode() = 14 and last_key <> scancode() and len(name) > 0 then name = left$((name,len(name)-1))
if asc(entry$()) <> 8 and len(name) < 16 then name = name + entry$()
last_key = scancode()
clear entry buffer
pointer = 225 + text width(name)
paste image 70,200,200
text 220,250,name
line pointer,254,pointer,265
if returnkey() then repeat until returnkey()=0 : stop = 1
until stop = 1
if image exist(70) then delete image 70
clear entry buffer
endfunction name
This is enter.png

To use it with that image you need to set the ink colour with ink to black before you call the function so the text will show up.
