Hi,

A related question.

Can I program a dialog box prompting the user to select the do file that he
would like to run?

Subject: st: How to write a program that asks the user for input

Hi,

I am trying to write a program that

  first executes some commands,

  then asks the user for input,

  and then processes the user input and executes some more commands.

I tried to do something with dialogs but I cannot get the program to
wait for the user input.

Does someone know how to write a program that asks for user input and
then continues? (It does not have to be with dialogs; command line
input would be fine too.)
