Re: prompt not working

As I said, the dialog box does not appear - so there is no place for me
to type in the name.

Thanks for the tip but at this point I am simply following the
instructions as given in the book that I am using to learn the
language. If it is not the best approach then I'm sure the author will
explain that later on and give new examples. Since you said the code
worked for you as posted then it must be viable. There must be
something different about my runtime environment which causes it not to
work for me, and this is what I need to get to the bottom of.

I tried executing the code that you provided as a counter example and
it likewise did not work for me as it should have. No prompt box
appeared and I got the following result:

You did not tell me your name... :-(
