[R] asking the user for data

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Use readline for a text dialog or use tkentry from the tcltk package
as shown in the Edit Box example at:
   http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/~wettenhall/RTclTkExamples/

On Windows other possibilities exist as well: winDialogString
and in package svDialog there is guiDlg .

Also check out qnorm .
