Q: 

How do I get user input in the Self language?

I'm experimenting with the Self language and I just past the point of easy canned stuff. I want to prompt the user for a number, or perhaps provide a form for several numbers. Is there an equivalent a scripting language's stdin-input, or a simple dialog, or do I have to grok Mophic and build it from scratch?

p.s. This should be tagged self-language or something equivalent; self has too many other uses.
