Help with printf, gets

Can someone help me get this to work? I want to be able to receive an input on the serial window and then display that input. The problem is the first text repeats forever with a while loop, and without a loop the program displays text but doesn't respond at all. What am I doing wrong? It seems like this should be simple.

#include<stdio.h>
#include <reg51.h> //Used for serial interface

int main () {
     char string [50];

         //Required for Serial Interface
     SCON = 0x52;       // serial port configuration
     TMOD = 0x20;
     TCON = 0x40;
     TH1 = 0xf3;        // 2403 baudrate @12mhz

         //while (1) {


  printf ("Insert sentence: ");
  gets (string);
  printf ("Your sentence is: %s",string);
  //return 0;
  //}
  }
