LINE INPUT [;] ["promptstring";] stringvariable
 
    ■ [;]                If used after LINE INPUT keywords, keeps the
                         text cursor on the same line of the screen after
                         the user presses the Enter key to input the line;
                         omitting the semicolon causes the cursor to skip
                         to the 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.
    ■ stringvariable     Holds the line of characters input by the user.
