Console application

What is the method I need to invoke to have a console application pause for
user input before continuing execution?

IOW, I need the console app to execute, display a prompt, pause for the user
to enter an input value, and, after the user presses ENTER, read and assign
the input value to a variable and continue execution.

Does anyone have example statements that will accomplish this?

Take a look at 'Console.ReadLine' (and 'Console.Read').
