As people previously replied, this functionality largely depends on
your platform. If you are only targeting Windows, then you may want to
support this with a Windows API directly (say, you can create a text
box with Win32 API on a external window, send the text entered to SDL
afterwards). If you are using Mac OS X, then SDL 1.3 has built-in
support for this.
