VBDOS does not provide a way to display a formatted input box so I had
to make one the hard way.  This example is for a phone number but it 
can be changed for any type of input.  You get the input through a textbox
then redirect the input to a picturebox so you can control the cursor location
and the format.  There are certain limitations which this method has.
For one I cannot figure out how to make a blinking cursor so I just used
a pusedo cursor.  Since it is not a real cursor it cannot blink so I made
it large.  When you used the arrow keys to place the cursor over a 
character already entered the character turns white instead of a cursor
under the character.  VBDOS does allow you to change the color of each
character but not the background color of a single character so you cannot
inverse the character, which would be better.  All the editing keys work, 
such as END, HOME, DELETE and BACKSPACE.  This current example only works
in insert mode.  It will not work properly if in overstrike.

Be sure to set the TOP value of the textbox that you are using to 25
so that it is not visible.  Such as: Text1.TOP = 25.

All this just for a formatted input!  The first major update of VBDOS will
probably have a formatted input box!

Fell free to use this code as you wish.
