I have a short Procedure called "wh" in my BOOT. This waits for a keypress. When the keypress occurs the program prints the value in sv_arbuf. The program then either waits for another keypress, or, if the key was ESC, exits from the loop. Repeated keypresses produce repeats of the value in sv_arbuf. This procedure could easily be altered to set all the characters keyed in a string. You have to set an end character of course to stop the process.
