/*  $DOC$
 *  $FUNCNAME$
 *      READVAR()
 *  $CATEGORY$
 *      Data input and output
 *  $ONELINER$
 *      Return variable name of current GET or MENU
 *  $SYNTAX$
 *      READVAR( [<cVarName>] ) --> cOldVarName
 *  $ARGUMENTS$
 *      <cVarName> is a new variable name to set.   </par>
 *  $RETURNS$
 *      READVAR() return the old variable name. If no variable previously
 *      was set, READVAR() return "".   </par>
 *  $DESCRIPTION$
 *      READVAR() is set inside a READ or MENU TO command to hold the
 *      uppercase name of the GET / MENU TO variable, and re-set back to old
 *      value when those commands finished. You should not normally set a
 *      variable name but rather use it to retrieve the name of a GET
 *      variable when executing a VALID or WHEN clause, or during SET KEY
 *      execution and you are inside a READ or MENU TO.   </par>  
 *  $EXAMPLES$
 *      // display a menu, press F1 to view the MENU TO variable name
 *      CLS
 *      @ 1, 10 PROMPT "blood sucking insect that infect beds   "
 *      @ 2, 10 PROMPT "germ; virus infection                   "
 *      @ 3, 10 PROMPT "defect; snag; (source of) malfunctioning"
 *      @ 4, 10 PROMPT "small hidden microphone                 "
 *      @ 6, 10 SAY "(Press F1 for a hint)"
 *      SET KEY 28 TO ShowVar
 *      MENU TO What_Is_Bug
 *
 *      PROCEDURE ShowVar
 *      ALERT( READVAR() )        // WHAT_IS_BUG in red ALERT() box
 *      </fixed>   
 *  $STATUS$
 *      R
 *  $COMPLIANCE$
 *      READVAR() works exactly like CA-Clipper's READKEY(), note however,
 *      that the <cVarName> parameter is not documented and used internally
 *      by CA-Clipper.   </par>
 *  $PLATFORMS$
 *      All   </par>
 *  $FILES$
 *      Library is rtl
 *  $SEEALSO$
 *      @...GET,@...PROMPT,MENU TO,READ,SET KEY,__AtPrompt(),__MenuTo()
