Action: This routine returns a character string typed on the keyboard. Parameter Description:
KWKID
Workstation identifier. If KWKID is negative, the parameters RQUEST(81), RQUEST(82), RQUEST(91), and RQUEST(92) given via the QUEST COMMON specify a box in normalized device coordinates in which the request string will be done. If HIGZ is installed with GKS an ``initialise string'' is performed.
ISTDNR
Device number
ISTAT
Return status. 0: Break and 1: OK
L
Number of characters returned
STR
Character string returned
Note that in the routines IRQLC and IRQST the parameter ISTAT may be used to identify the button number of the mouse.
