(Page) Ask for Var(s) .AV



PAGE waits for something to be typed at the keyboard until ENTER is pressed. Everything that was typed prior to ENTER is stored in the variable on the dot command line.

Example:

.AV VAR1

A prompt may also be automatically printed using this syntax:

.AV "Here is the prompt: ",VAR1

.DM (display message) commands may also be used to display text prior to asking for keyboard input.
