Return: STACK: DWORD number of bytes read

Notes: reading starts at the current logical cursor position; the cursor is
updated to point at the character following the last one read
any translucent blanks (FFh) which are visible on screen are changed
to the character which is seen through them
the string produced by the read is placed in an input buffer which may
be reused by the next READ or READN of a window
window stream opcodes D8h and D9h determine whether the read returns
characters or attributes
