I found this little piece of code that came in very useful to me, but I
can't get it to take letters.  All it does is take number input.

Can someone tell me how to get this little thing to take both letters and
numbers for input?

INPUT CODE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
function input(sequence text) -- To print a message a return a number
sequence inp,cur
inp={1,0}
    puts (1,text)                   -- message on screen
    while inp[1] do                 -- repeat until valid number
    cur=get_position()              -- back to position if not valid
    inp = get (0)
    position (cur[1],cur[2])
    end while

    return inp[2]
end function
