Hello!

I am using Allegro 5.01 and often enjoy the convenience of (y-or-no-p) for development
start-up files and such.  I was wondering if there is a similar pre-fab dialog that
would return a string or lisp form when entered into a text box.  It is not really
worth the trouble of creating any new form or having an extra file.....

TIA

Look out for functions with starting with "ask-user-for". There are
several prompts for
text, font, color, directory and files.

Thank you kindly, ask-user-for-string fits the bill perfectly!
