[apluslist] Interactive user input a script

[Brian Redman]

Hello alaska,

I'm very rusty but until someone comes up with the right way...

$mode ascii

f{p}:{
      x := 1024 rho "";
     sys.write{1;p;rho p};
     n := sys.read{0;x;1024};
     x[iota n]
   }

input := f{"type here: "};


As for exiting, I always preferred sys.exit(0);
