The InputBox function creates a prompt for an input dialog
box.
The dialog box usually asks a question and prompts a reply from the
user.
If the user clicks the OK button or presses ENTER, the InputBox
function returns all text inside the text box. If the user clicks the
CANCEL button, a zero-length string "" is returned.
