<br><br>
The read procedure handles '''char''' and '''string''' items differently to the standard.<br>
read( ( c ) ), where c is a '''char''' item gets the next character from standard input -
<br>
read( ( s ) ), where s is a '''string''' item does not change the bounds of s, it reads as many characters as are currently contained in s, - so '''string''' s; read( ( s, newline ) ) won't read anything into s as its bounds will be 1:0 at that point.
