If you're not sure how to use a proc in a certain way, look it up in the reference! If you look up input() in the Reference, you'll find your answer.

You probably actually want to use the alert() proc, not input(). Look it up in the reference.

No, it won't work. Foomer said twice that you should look it up in the reference. alert() and input() are not mob procs; they don't belong to mobs. Therefore, M.alert() is bad syntax and you'll get an error.

Both of these procs take a first argument, usually omitted (it defaults to usr), that say who receives the input() or alert() box.
