Trying to get around the aformentioned bug in input$(), I attempted to use
the Dos library, with the dos.bmap include with AmigaBAsic and the library
command. Unfortunately, the appropriate commands are open,read,write, and
close, which are treated by basic as keywords EVEN in the middle of a
DECLARE FUNCTION xxxxxx LIBRARY statement. I HAVE to declare at least open,
other wise I will get no return value, and thus no file handle to pass to
the others. Didn't anybody at Microsoft or Commodore/Amiga try USING the
demo files provided? (As a side note, trying to run the Library demo
 program gets me a "file not found" for graphics.library. What gives?)

Help!
