The syntax is the same as for InputString. In[1]:= ?Input Input[ ] interactively reads in one Mathematica expression. Input["prompt"] requests input, using the specified string as a prompt. In[2]:= ?InputString InputString[ ] interactively reads in a character string. InputString["prompt"] requests input, using the specified string as a prompt. I hope this helps. --Ian ----------------------------------------------------------- Ian Collier Wolfram Research, Inc. ----------------------------------------------------------- tel:(217) 398-0700 fax:(217) 398-0747 ianc at wolfram.com Wolfram Research Home Page: http://www.wolfram.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------- ==== [MESSAGE SEPARATOR] ====
