I know that both Visual Basic and REALbasic have a MsgBox, but what
would be the coungerpart in REALbasic to Visual Basic's InputBox?

There is none (built-in).

If there is none (and there probably isn't, since the VB2RB conversion
utility doesn't know of any), what's the simplest way to get typed input
from a user?  An EditField on a WIndow?

Yes, exactly. You could even make a global InputBox method that configures and shows your input window, then returns the response, so you can call it just like you would in VB.

Best,
