There are a number of ways to do this you could default to reading input if there are not parameters like this:

Code:
$ cat shell_script
#!/usr/bin/ksh

if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
   if [ -t 0 ]
   then
      printf "Input: "
   fi
   read input
else
   input=$@
fi

echo "Input is: $input"
$ ./shell_script "one two" three
Input is: one two three
$ echo "piped one two" | ./shell_script
Input is: piped one two
$ ./shell_script
Input: prompted value
Input is: prompted value
