Use of INPUT in MC

Dr BEEP

I want to use the INPUT-command in MC and made the following code.

        org  40000
        dump 40000

	ld   hl,(#5c5d)
        push hl
        ld   hl,input
        ld   (#5c5d),hl
        call #2089
        pop  hl
        ld   (#5c5d),hl
        ret

input   defb 34
        defm "Enter text"
        defb 34,";","f","$"        

This accepts the code, but then 'hangs' for a while before continuing
Anyone here knows how to use this in MC?

This any help to you?

It might do the job, only I want it shorter.

This was my idea in the end.

Will try to start and then cut off as much as possible.
