-NAME
- readline - read a line from stdin
-
-SYNTAX
- string readline(string prompt);
-
-DESCRIPTION
- This function writes the string 'prompt' and then waits until the
- user has entered a line from the keyboard. If the readline library
- was available when Pike was compiled the user will have history and
- line edithing at his/her disposal when entering the line.
