-
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- SYNTAX: APPEND filename$
- DESCRIPTION: Merges the BASIC program in filename$ into the
- current BASIC program; lines in filename$
- replace any matching lines in the current
- program.
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- SYNTAX: AUTO [start [, increment]]
- DESCRIPTION: Automatic line numbering for manual program
- entry. If the line already exists, then an
- asterisk is displayed and pressing ENTER
- leaves the line as-is. If the line does not
- exist, then an asterisk is not displayed and
- pressing ENTER terminates AUTO mode.
- Regardless whether the line exists, entering
- the command MAN will terminate AUTO mode.
- AUTO mode is also terminated by any ERROR or
- by pressing control-C.
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- SYNTAX: BREAK line [, ...]]
- DESCRIPTION: Diagnostic command to stop execution at the
- specified line(s). BREAK only applies to
- user-numbered lines. For multi-statement
- lines, BREAK only applies to the first
- statement. BREAK effectively inserts a
- hidden STOP command immediately after the
- line number. Once a BREAK occurrs on a
- specified line, it is automatically removed.
- To remove all existing BREAKs, execute BREAK
- without any line numbers.
