4042	Native console-read (prompt) function	anonymous		"Would be nice to have a build-in console-read function (prompt user and return answer).

A simple function like this:

func Prompt($msg = """")
    Local $sResult
    Local $sText
    if not $msg = """" then ConsoleWrite ($msg & "": "")
    While True
        $sText = ConsoleRead()
        If @error Then ExitLoop
        if StringRight($sText, 1) = @LF then
            $sResult &= $sText
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
        Sleep(20)
    WEnd
    return $sResult
EndFunc

I think write and read to/form console in a console-app is a very often-used feature
