Question How do you take what a user types in and convert it into a variable to be used

I am a newbie to programming on the unix Command Line*, and was wondering how you take what a user types in and convert it into a variable to be used in the script?


*I always used it for file editing, but nothing more. Then I began to use BBedit.
