getpoint getstring combo?

[C Witt]

I need a way of making a single promt that will accept either user picked points.. or an entered value (but the entered value may not always be a #, could be a string).

It must be possible.. but how?

(and thank you.. this should work)

(initget 128)
(setq a (getpoint "\n Pick a point -or- enter a string "))
