- NAME: GETLINE
-
- SYNTAX: GETLINE [prompt string]
-
- DECRIPTION:
-
- Asks for a line of text from the user. If the optional prompt
- string is supplied, it will be printed first. Creative use of TEXT,
- HTEXT, and CRSR will allow you to be quite creative in how you want
- a screen to look when inputting such things as database fields, etc.
- The resulting string is returned in RESULT. OPTIONS RESULTS must have
- perviously been issued in order for the string to be returned.
-
- EXAMPLE:
-
- CRSR 22 1
- GETLINE 'Please enter name: '
- SAY RESULT
-
- This example will place the indicated string at row 22, column 1,
- and leave the cursor positioned right after it. After the user enters
- a string, the command will return, and the SAY RESULT command will
- print the resulting string.
