Using an Allegro dialog containing a d_edit_proc object. See the
appropriate section in allegro.txt for more info, and
examples/exdialog.c for an example.

There's at least one add-on library for that. I don't know if it works
with the last Allegro WIP version since the font structure has changed
lately, but it's worth a try. Look for it in the libraries section at
allegro.cc. I haven't tested the library, but depending on how it works,
you may or may not be able to use anti-aliased text in the dialog, if
that was what you were looking for.
