HELP
An object that reads data from HP-UX
standard input using transactions.

USE
Use StdIn object to read a wide variety of
file encodings and formats from the HP-UX
standard input of HP VEE.

All From StdIn objects use the same read
pointer, even if they are in different
threads or different contexts.  This means
that data read by one From StdIn object is
not re-read by another From StdIn object.

To place data in HP VEE's standard in
pipe, you can either type lines in the shell
window where the HP VEE process was started
or start the HP VEE process using a pipe
command to redirect standard input.  For
example, "cat someFileName veetest" sends the
contents of file "someFileName" into HP VEE's
standard in.

From StdIn Actions:

* READ - Reads data using the specified
encoding and format.

* WAIT - Waits the specified number of
seconds before executing the next
transaction.

From StdIn Encodings:

* TEXT - Reads all data types from an
ASCII-data stream.

* BINARY - Reads all data types from an
machine-specific binary format.

* BINBLOCK - Reads all HP VEE data types from
binary data files with IEEE 488.2 definite
length block headers.

* CONTAINER - Reads all data types from an
HP VEE specific text format.

LOCATION
I/O ==> From ==> StdIn
