INPUT [;] ["promptstring"{;|,}] variablelist
 
  ■ [;]                Determines screen location of the text cursor
                       after the program user enters the last character of
                       input:
                         ";" keeps cursor at next character position;
                         if the semicolon is omitted, the cursor skips
                         to next line.
  ■ ["promptstring"]   A literal string that will be displayed on
                       the screen before the program user enters
                       data items into the data input field.
  ■ {;|,}            ";" appends a question mark to promptstring;
                         "," does not.
  ■ variablelist       An ordered list of variables which will hold the
                       data items as they are entered.
