My attempt at an input function for console apps..

	While Not AppTerminate()
		Local inp:String = InputA$("")
		
		If inp <> Null
			WriteStdout "~q" + inp + "~q"
		EndIf
		
		Delay 1
	Wend
	
Function InputA$( prompt$=">" )
	Global status:Int = 0
	Global str$,buf:Byte[1024],p:Int,n:Byte
	
	If status = 0
		StandardIOStream.WriteString prompt
		StandardIOStream.Flush
	EndIf
	
	  status = 1
		If StandardIOStream.Read( Varptr n,1 )<>1 status=-1
		If n=0 status=-1
		If n=10 status=-1
		If n=13 status=-1
		buf[p]=n ; p:+1
		If p<>buf.length status=-1
		str:+String.FromBytes(buf,p)
		p=0
		
	If status=-1
		DebugLog ""
		If p str:+String.FromBytes(buf,p)
		Local tstr$ = str
		status=0 ; str$=Null ; p=0 ; n=0 ; buf=Null 
		buf = New Byte[1024]
		Return str
	EndIf
	
	Return Null
	
End Function

Function Input$( prompt$=">" )
	StandardIOStream.WriteString prompt

    Return StandardIOStream.ReadLine()
End Function
