I don't know.  Or do you think I'm a super genius?
Let's see: 

M-x apropos RET read RET
C-v
C-s read-string RET C-s C-s C-s

Yep, seems like this could be useful:

read-string
  Function: Read a string from the minibuffer, prompting with string PROMPT.

C-h f read-string RET

Yep, sounds promizing.
