READLIST

Synopsis
READLIST
RL
Description

Reads a line from the read stream (initially the popup dialog) and outputs that line as a list. The line is separated into items as though it were typed in square brackets in an instruction. If the read stream is a file and the end of file is reached, then READLIST outputs the empty word (not the empty list).

READLIST processes backslash, vertical bar, and tilde characters in the read stream; the output list will not contain these characters but they will have had their usual effect. READLIST does not, however, treat semicolon as a comment character.

Example
SHOW READLIST
Hello how are you?
[Hello how are you?]
