You can use the System.Console class to conduct dialogs with the user. The following example shows a dialog with the user. It asks for his or her name, and echoes it back:

  import System;
  System.Console.Write("What is your name: ");
  var name : String = Console.ReadLine();
  Console.Write("Hello ");
  Console.Write(name);
  Console.WriteLine("!");
Notice the usage of both Write() and WriteLine(). Whenever we want to go to the next line, we use the WriteLine() instead of Write(). The following command-line window shows the code listing of the above dialog, col116ex3.js, its compilation, and its execution.
