Reading a string value with no quotes

For some reason if you try to read a string value but don't put quotes around them in the Data statements a file / open dialog pops up.

Try running this :

Read a$
Data test

Anyone know why this occurs? I thought it was kind of strange.

It's a very old, well-known bug. :)
