include get.e
function Console_Get()
  sequence lInput
  integer lChar

  lInput = {}

  lChar = wait_key()
  while lChar != '\r' do
       if lChar >= ' ' and lChar < 127
              or
          lChar = '\t'
       then
           puts(1, lChar)
           lInput &= lChar
       end if
       lChar = wait_key()
  end while

  return lInput
end function

sequence s
s = Console_Get()
printf(1, "\nLength: %d\n", length(s))
