LINE INPUT Read Line from Keyboard, Ignoring Delimiters
LINE INPUT[;]["prompt";] stringvar
Assigns a line of keyboard input (up to 255 characters) to a string
variable.
; If a semicolon is included directly after the INPUT
keyword, QuickBASIC does not issue a carriage return/line
feed after receiving the user's input.
prompt A string constant supplying a prompt to guide the user.
stringvar The name of a string variable that will receive input.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: LINE INPUT does not automatically display a question mark.
If you want a question mark, include it within a prompt
string.
Unlike INPUT, LINE INPUT ignores all delimiters.
Everything entered at the keyboard, including quote marks
and commas, is treated as part of the input string.
