TERMIN(prompt)

prompt: is the prompt printed on the monitor. It can be a character variable, a character literal enclosed in double quotation marks, or another character expression.

Details

The TERMIN function is easier to use than the TTOPEN, TTREAD, and TTCLOSE functions, but it does not offer the same flexibility. The return value is the characters that the user entered at the terminal. The TERMIN function accepts a maximum of 132 characters.
