Transfers input data to internal storage from external records
  accessed under the sequential mode of access.  It takes one of the
  following forms:

      Formatted           ACCEPT f[,iolist]
      List-directed       ACCEPT *[,iolist]
      Namelist            ACCEPT n

      f       Is a format specifier not prefaced by FMT=.

      iolist  Is a simple I/O list element or an implied-DO list.

      *       Specifies list-directed formatting (can be specified
              as FMT=*).

      n       The nonkeyword form of a namelist specifier.

  The control-list parameters are "f," "*" (or FMT=*), and "n".  The
  I/O list parameter is "iolist".

  The formatted ACCEPT statement transfers data from your terminal to
  internal storage.  The access mode is sequential.

  The list-directed ACCEPT statement translates the data from
  character to binary format according to the data types of the
  variables in the I/O list.

  The namelist ACCEPT statement translates the data from character to
  binary format according to the data types of the list entities in
  the corresponding NAMELIST statement.
