SUMMARY
This article explains why the UP, DOWN, PGUP, and PGDN cursor keys produce a beep when editing what is typed in response to the INPUT or LINE INPUT statement at run time.

The input editor used by INPUT and LINE INPUT is a line editor only. This means you can move and edit only horizontally, such as with the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW cursor-control keys and the BACKSPACE key. Attempts to use the UP, DOWN, PGUP, and PGDN cursor keys produce a beep.
