This seems like a trivial question, but I can't find a satisfactory
answer, so maybe it isn't.  How do you prompt the operator(console) and
accept the response from a batch job?  It seems like there are times
when this is desirable (for tape information, e.g.) but I can't see a
way to do it with the standard commands.
