Is should be added that the above will always print a ? as the last 
character as the prompt, if you want to supress this you can use the 
LINE statement before then INPUT statement, to see the difference run 
the following :-

10 INPUT "TYPE YOUR NAME: "; A$
20 LINE INPUT "TYPE YOUR NAME: "; A$

The output should be :-
TYPE YOUR NAME:?
TYPE YOUR NAME:

The first will be from line 10, the second from line 20.

Cheers.

Phill.
