Syntax
BD-
where N is the name of a string, and S is the string.
We use the READSTRING: command to prompt for interactive input of a string. The
command typically will be issued from a file being run
as as part of a macro. When it is issue, the prompt
BD-
will appear on the screen, and you should type in the string S, followed by the
`Enter' key to terminate it. The string so defined is then available for use in exactly
the same way as strings defined via the more usual STRING: command.
If you press the `Enter' key immediately on receiving the prompt, the string will be
defined as empty.
