LINE INPUT Statement Details
 
Syntax
  LINE INPUT[;] ["promptstring";] stringvariable
 
The promptstring is a string constant displayed on the screen before input
is accepted. A question mark is not printed unless it is part of the
promptstring. All input from the end of promptstring to the carriage return
is assigned to stringvariable.
 
A semicolon immediately after the LINE INPUT statement keeps the cursor on
the same line after the user presses ENTER.
 
LINE INPUT uses the same editing characters as INPUT.
