Syntax READPROMPT text

(READPROMPT)
 
Explanation READPROMPT opens a dialog box and lets the user type a line which is reported as a single Logo word. Its input is displayed as text. If READPROMPT is used without any inputs, a default message appears.

READPROMPT is useful to define names that contain delimiters or characters that would otherwise need to be quoted with \ and for retaining the case of characters entered by the user. When CASE is set to FALSE, READPROMPT retains the case of letters that are entered.
