Hi,

I have a couple of simple beginner Io questions, so don't unleash the flame=
s just yet.

I'm trying to generate a random value between 0 and 100 (just for example) =
with the following code:

rand :=3D Random value(100) round

If I put this even in a file by itself and execute just that line, Io never=
 processes the line and just freezes right there. If I interrupt execution =
I get a trace output something like this:

IOVM:
	Received signal. Setting interrupt flag.
cat=20
  current coroutine
  ---------
  Object Random                        Random.io 2
  FileImporter importPath              Z_Importer.io 49
  FileImporter tryToImportProtoFromFolder Z_Importer.io 34
  FileImporter import                  Z_Importer.io 125
  List detect                          Z_Importer.io 125
  true and                             Z_Importer.io 125

These last 6 lines repeat over and over. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here=
? I'm running Io version 20110905.

Secondly, I have an interactive script which is reading from standard input=
 and printing some output as well. I am finding that after each attempted r=
ead from standard input I get "nil" printed to standard output. Here is how=
 I'm doing it:

input :=3D File standardInput
input readLine

Perhaps this is not the best way, I'm not sure. What is wrong here? Many th=
anks in advance.

Best Regards,
Oliver
