Developing Programs

Editing Your Program Using Edit

The analyzer editor is accompanied by a “Label Window” at the top of the

screen. This window is ﬁlled with characters and IBASIC keyword

commands and has its own cursor.

The current program line (the line containing the cursor) always appears

as two lines on the screen, allowing you to enter up to 108 characters if

needed. All other lines have only their ﬁrst 51 characters displayed

(excluding line numbers).

Each line has a numeric ﬁeld in the ﬁrst 6 columns in which program

line numbers are right justiﬁed. Although program lines are

automatically numbered by the editor, you can edit the current line

number to copy or move it to a different location in the program. The

range of line numbers is from 1 to 32767. To end an editing session, press

the softkey in the edit menu or on an external

keyboard. This will return you to the

menu.

The IBASIC Editor Softkeys

The editor has two sets of softkey menus, the Edit keys and the

Character Entry keys. The edit menu is activated when you press

. The menu box above the

softkeys shows the label Edit.

The edit menu provides the following softkeys:
