[comp.lang.modula2] HELP!! beginner question on how to read in a line of numbers....

Hi all,

I am an experienced Fortran and Basic programmer, but an
absolute novice with Pascal & Modula2. I am playing with
Metrowerks Modula2 compiler. I have the following line of
data:

x1 x2 x3 x4 x5

which I type in. How do I read these numbers all in as
separate numbers?? I know in F77 & Basic the spaces
delimit them as separate numbers and my code would
just be to read in those numbers directly.

These numbers *MUST* be typed on one line, instead of
each followed by a <CR>. I know this involves the InOut
module, but please give me suggestions ASAP. 


Also, what if some of them are integers (like the first one),
and others are real numbers?? How do I handle that ??


Also, is there an inexpensive Modula2 compiler for the IBM
PC, I am using Metrowerks on the Mac.


Thanks for help
