HELP READLINE updated Mark Rubinstein October 1985 readline() -> list; This procedure reads all items (using *READITEM) from *PROGLIST with *POPNEWLINE set to TRUE (so that a newline is returned as the word NEWLINE), stopping when NEWLINE is encountered. It then returns a list of all items read; this will be [] if just return is pressed. For example readline() => ? this is typed by the user ** [this is typed by the user] The prompt used must be a string (but see HELP * GETLINE and * REQUTESLINE), and is held in POP_READLINE_PROMPT. which users can change. The default is '? '. See HELP * REQUESTLINE, HELP * LISTREAD, HELP * GETLINE
