getnstrThe getnstr procedure is used to get strings from the terminal.
In essence, it performs the same task as would be achieved by a series
of calls to getch until a <NL>, <CR>, or <EOF> is
received. The resulting string of characters is returned. The
procedure always takes a length parameter which is the maximum length
of string that it will allow to be input.
