Any book on BASIC programming will explain INPUT and FOR, as well as
all the other "regular" BASIC statements. You may need the Extended
Color BASIC manual for the Color Computer to understand the extended
command set for graphics and sound.

Go to your public library and check out a book on BASIC programming.
You need the *old* style BASIC:  stay away from books on Visual BASIC.

Or you can order a beginner book on BASIC at Abebooks. Here are three,
and each will cost about $5 including shipping. Any one will do:
