Data can either be entered interactively at a prompt or through the use of parameters in the same way that tasks use parameters to specify input. Interactive input for a parameter is normally accomplished using the ASK command, followed by a prompt enclosed in quotes and then the name of the parameter to which the data will be read.
ASK "Enter file name: " file
When executed, this command will cause the prompt message to be printed and EASI will then wait for the user to enter the requested data, which in this case will be stored in the parameter FILE.
Enter file name: test.pix
Interaction with variables and parameters is also provided by INPUT command. Here is an example:
local UTMX, UTMY input "Enter the X,Y location in UTM Metres" UTMX, UTMY
