stream

0 if not specified). The first, optional semic'olon [;] suppresses the carriage
return/line feed that will otherwise occur after the command is executed.
The <separator> must either be a semicolon or comma. A semicolon causes a question
mark to be displayed; a comma suppresses the question mark.

L IN E IN PUT from disc (or cassette) stream # 9 is terminated by a received
carriage return, or by the <string variable> being assigned 255 characters, whichever
