#include <gstream.h>

void set_input_string(char const *s);

   gs << "What's your opinion about gstream?\n";


   


   gs.set_input_string("I think it is incredible wonderful!");


   gs.getline(buf, 100);

The user will see the following



   What's your opinion about gstream?


   I think it is incredible wonderful!|

where the '|' represents the cursor, and (s)he can edit the string, for example

resulting in 'buf' containing the string "I think it is superior, fantastic and wonderful!"
