Use the [ ask [ ] and wait ] block. Also, this belongs in All About Scratch.

Re: How to create a "enter name box"
if you want something quick and easy, i recommend using the ask block like SRR said above. but if you want it to look nice, you can use a variable with some extra scripts.
they would be something like: [/blocks]
<when[ A ]key pressed>
<set{ name }to( join <{ name }> and A

put it in the stage and it will look better. the (answer) block will tell you the name.
Have a look at some of my games. I made a cool physics game called "Physics Marble Cannon" which is really cool. I let anyone remix any of my projects without permission or credit necessary.

I'd say you're looking for the [ask _ and wait] and (answer) blocks. Both are in the sensing category.
Like LS97 said, you could make your own input system, but that usually requires more work than it's worth.
