[En-Nut-Discussion] string INPUT command

[Brett Abbott]

Hi

Is there a standard function available or has someone written a user 
input function that echoes the characters as typed, processes backspace 
as "backspace/delete" and uses CR as end of line which returns the user 
entered string as a pointer.  It should work with a stream, ie. function 
for both usart or ethernet/IP session.  Essentially the input function 
of old BASIC.

Any help appreciated.  Please accept my apologies if this is blaringly 
obvious in the documentation.

Many Thanks
Brett
