' DESCRIPTION: Function to edit a string in a box

$ENDIF

' this subroutine already contains SINBOX.BAS, which draws a box around
' the input line.  You can, of course, use your own box routine, or
' not use one at all.

' EDITBOX$ is a function which returns whatever was typed into the field.
' DEFAULT$ is the argument, which should be padded with spaces to equal the
' total size of the edit field.


' Example:

A$=EditBox$("This is the Default     ")
CLS
IF A$="" THEN PRINT "You aborted" ELSE PRINT "You entered: ";A$
