Simple interaction with the user

There are two functions built into the VBScript language that allow you to get some input value from the user and to display a message:

x = InputBox "Please enter your height in meters"

x = x * 3.279

MsgBox "Your height is " & x & " feet."

will ask the user to type a value in meters and assign it to the variable x, convert it to feet and then display the result.
