Or, for a solution that works pre-5.0 as well:

declare answer(2,*), startVal(1,*)
startVal="t"
pushkey startVal
input popup answer "Enter correct Value."

Of course, where the default value is as long as the input field, or
where you want the cursor someplace other than the very end, this
won't work.
