I don't understand? ... ignores what input? In my example, no input was ignored, FOO was set, and had fewer than 3 characters. Do you have an example in which the user could use :MIN to any advantage?
Code:
v:\> set foo
TCC: Not in environment "foo*"
v:\> input /L3:3 %%foo
ab
v:\> echo **%foo**
**ab**
Actually this is a documentation error - the help shows the wrong separator character. But since it's easier to change the program than change the help, I've switched the separator to ':' as shown in the INPUT help.
This doesn't seem to be working quite right. Below, after the INPUT command, I typed a, b, and [Enter].
Code:
v:\> input /L3:3 %%foo
ab
I got the default sound and the screen stayed as above. Typing one more character (c) made it look good
Code:
v:\> input /L3:3 %%foo
abc
but then [Enter] just gave the default sound and the insertion point moved to the second character on the line (the b), as if the c were the only character known.
If it's going to start over (require all the characters) it should clear the line. I'd prefer that it continue with some characters in place, waiting for the remaining characters.
