The verb "prompt" is quite useful but one should be a little careful if
"prompt" is executed before a loaded script completes execution. This is
a little wierd but it has some interesting possibilities as well.
Consider the following script:
require 'misc'
z=:prompt 'Text following in script is grabbed.'
t=:'This is grabbed instead of being executed.'
w=:'More text'
NB. End of script
Running it gives:
loadd 'd:\juser\temp\31.ijs'
require 'misc'
z=:prompt 'Text following in script is grabbed.'
Text following in script is grabbed.t=:'This is grabbed instead of being
executed.'
w=:'More text'
NB. End of script
NB. Following entered after the script completes:
t
|value error: t
w
More text
