## ReadRect

    $cons->ReadRect(left, top, right, bottom)

Reads the content (characters and attributes) of the rectangle specified by left, top, right, bottom from the console. Returns a string containing the rectangle read, or `undef` on error. You can then pass the returned variable to `WriteRect` to restore the saved rectangle on screen (or on another console).
