-
- FUNCTION
- RequestString is very similar to RequestChoice and RequestFile
- which are included in the Workbench 3.x release.
-
- It allows the user to enter some text which is then printed to
- StdOut. You can redirect that output to whereever you want,
- e.g. to an environment variable or to any other file.
-
- It is 'pure' so it can be made resident.
-
