Use these to get input:

keypressed();
readkey();

and these to draw to screen:

textprintf()/textprintf_ex();
line();
rect();

There is an area element just like the one in HTML. It is documented in the GUI section of the Allegro manual.

RTM on GUI routines in general, and d_edit_proc() in particular.

BTW, this is not an allegro development question.
