I'm currently writing a test bench for a model and I have a couple
of questions.

1) Does VHDL have any hooks provided to take in user input during
   run time? (Ex. prompting for information)

2) If (1) is possible, is there a way to prompt the user for a
   filename, and then use this in a file object declaration?
   (Ex. FILE myfile:text IS IN input_variable_name)
   I've only seen hardcoded or generic map implementations of this.

The reason for these questions is that I want to write only one test
bench, and then use this test bench for multiple input stimulus files.
I know there are ways around this, but I want something efficient.

Thanks in advance
