If I am correct (I am not sure), fgetc() is the unction needed, if you 
put it in a loop:

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    ch[i] = fgetc();

    if ch[i] = '\r' then {
        ch[i] = NULL;
        break;
    }
}

I think that is the best solution to getting a string with fgetc(), but 
you do need to press return after...

I am a little unsure though (I haven't used C for a while).
