I've sent it in before, but I put the whole thing up on Pickwiki.  Following
is the note I put about it.
***********************
Here's a subroutine to mimic the INPUT WAITING capability that exists in
Unidata. It has all the functionality including duplicating the behaviour of
the underscore and colon when specifying the maximum string length. For
example, if you want to input three characters for variable THIS, waiting
for 10 seconds, requiring a carriage return to signify input but without a
line feed, and defaulting to the string "zip"; you would code:

CALL INPUTWAIT(THIS, '3_:', '10', 'zip' )
***********************

Which in Unidata would have been

INPUT THIS,3_: FOR 10 ELSE THIS = 'zip'

So you can save time by getting the code from
