block read
I would like to suggest something like the command "read" to data input. 
Example: the Sprite says: "Type a number:" then block read(number), number is a variable.
Input is essencial to create interactivity.
Thanks.
Scratch is sensational!!!

Re: block read
It's possible to get complex input by writing a sprite to accept it. Like you could pop up a sprite with a row of buttons with different numbers. There's various schemes you could use to make it easy to enter large numbers. It's kind of a pain, but at least in Scratch it would be very reusable code-- a sprite you can import and use when you want number input.

Re: block read
There is number input already written in my RPN calculator.
