no, it's not.
if he wants commandline input, no gets will provide any help!

as a matter of fact, with gets you probably make a script useless as then it waits for user input.
silly.

the point is, the script can be given args on commandline.
just like wants.
and he knows that.
but for some odd reason he does not want to do that but he wants to go on writing some databases and doing some requests to white house for permission to type and so on.

so, currently, I quess all that can be done is let him think for a while what he actually wants.
