  Title:       Buffered Keyboard Input
 
  See also:    Read File or Device, Character Input, @GetStr
 
  Description:
 
     Reads a string of bytes from the standard input device, up to and
     including an ASCII carriage return (0Dh), and places it in a
     user-designated buffer. The characters are echoed to the standard
     output device. Input may be redirected. However, if input has been
     redirected, there is no way to detect EOF.
