plsql: reading from console...???

Hi there,

I need to read users input on a console from plsql. Something like:

"This will do .... Continue Y/N?"
"> _"

My books doesn't show any example.

I tried DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINE but this just swollowed the line I produced by ...PUT_LINE and didn't showed and prompt.

Can you help me?

Thanks

Stefan
