  call _clrScrn
  call _homeup
  ld de,_ioPrompt
  ld hl,prompt
  call _mov10B    ;move to prompt buffer
  call _mov10B
  ld hl,(_CLEANTMP)
  push hl     ;save _cleantmp
  ld hl,(_PTempCnt)
  ld (_CLEANTMP),hl
  ld a,$0c     ;value for input str
  ld (_ASAP_IND),a
  call _exec_pg3    ;input the string
  pop hl
  ld (_CLEANTMP),hl   ;put _cleantmp back
 ;string is now in the variable whose name is in op1
