Re: input processing issues

I think "collect" is what you would normally use for this case.  Read 
generally deals with parsing dtmf digits that have already been 
buffered.  You could either use collect in front of read, as in:

	collect count=8
	read %myvar count=8 format="????????"

Or possibly do it in collect itself:

	collect %myvar count=8 format="????????"

Although you do not need the format= for this, either, since you are not 
transforming the data being read.  Format is normally used for things 
like parsing a date field:

????/??/??

Hence, if the user enters 20050109 the %var will then hold 
"2005/01/09"...but to just fill a var with digits, format is redundent 
and unneeded.
