GETLINE  GETLINE Get a Line of Input from User


Usage
 
 Reads a line (as a string) from the user.  This function has
 two syntaxes.  The first is 
 
   a = getline(prompt)
 
 where prompt is a prompt supplied to the user for the query.
 The second syntax omits the prompt argument:
 
   a = getline
 
 Note that this function requires command line input, i.e., it 
 will only operate correctly for programs or scripts written
 to run inside the FreeMat GUI environment or from the X11 terminal.
 If you build a stand-alone application and expect it to operate 
 cross-platform, do not use this function (unless you include
 the FreeMat console in the final application).
