Sorry if I'm speaking out of school, as I have never programmed AGIs, but
from what you described, the stream_file taking one digit at a time should
be sufficient.

string entry
while (keypressed != #)
{
    entry += keypressed
}

In this way, you could "build up" your string of digits.

Don't know how AGI is working specifically, but hopefully this will trigger
some thought or idea.
