Hi Guillermo,

Yes, I think that was the problem, when I change the code (as Matt suggested) to:

include get.e 
sequence input 
puts(1, "enter some text ") 
input = get(0) 
if input[1] != 1 then 
   ? input[2] 
else 
   puts(1, "not a valid euphoria object!") 
end if 

There was no error message, but the output wasn't what I was expecting. In the manual it says:

Actually, I'm not entirely clear what a "valid" euphoria object is in this context! In the manual it says:

"Input, from file fn, a human-readable string of characters representing a Euphoria object."

Nor am I sure what "human readable" means...

So if I wanted to read in from the keyboard a list of numbers and or strings, would I need to use a loop? and if I wanted to print out what I'd input would I need to test the elements of the sequence to determine which was a string and which was a number. I have a feeling I'm making this more complicated than it actually is.
