[Coco] results on INPUT vs. READ for disk files in BASIC09

[James Jones]

That seems inconsistent with the BASIC09 manual (I got the printed one out
this time), which says

   - [READ] reads either an ASCII record from a sequential file or device,
   or an item from a DATA statement
   - Each input record is terminated by a carriage return character.
