I am trying to use the GetInt function in Simula, but seem to have some
problems understanding its correct use. When running below program:

begin
 text line;
 line :- Copy("1 2 3 4");
 OutInt(line.GetInt,4);
 OutImage;
 OutInt(line.GetInt,4);
 OutImage;
 OutInt(line.GetInt,4);
 OutImage;
 OutInt(line.GetInt,4);
 OutImage;
end;

I would expect to get 

   1
   2
   3
   4

as output, but get 

   1
   1
   1
   1

instead! 

Any ideas where I go wrong?

Thanks,
Albert
