Yes. But you still have a lot of flexibility. For example, you can do
line-oriented INPUTs as illustrated in:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/scripts/ckermit/timestamp
Then you can assign each line to the variable of your choice, or to an
array element, etc. By the way, the URL is to a particular script file
in the scripts library, which you can find here:

: you say "input all characters possible without a timeout until the

: is empty"...
