     Name
          gets - Gets a string from the standard input.

     Syntax
          gets [ string ]

     Description
          gets can be used with csh(C) to read a string from the
          standard input.  If string is given it is used as a default
          value if an error occurs.  The resulting string (either
          string or as read from the standard input) is written to the
          standard output.  If no string is given and an error occurs,
          gets exits with exit status 1.
