Below is a standard prompt which also does some checking on the value
input.  I'm trying to figure out a way to use this command and also have
it check if the user just presses the enter-key (which is a valid
option).  I can't figure out how to do this.  Anyone out there have a
suggestion?  It works for any of the 4 values in the POS statement with
the exception of a blank (pressing the enter-key) with nothing else
entered.

I would greatly appreciate any help; and thanks in advance.

Larry B.
