Inserting Lines
Insert one or more program lines above an existing line by placing the
cursor on that line and pressing + on the keyboard. This
key combination functions as a toggle to turn insert mode on and off.
As an example, assume you want to insert some lines between two
adjacent program lines numbered 90 and 100. Place line 100 in the
current line position and press + . The program display
“opens” and a new line, number 91, appears between line 90 and line
100. Enter the inserted line and another inserted line, number 92, will
appear. If, after continuing to enter lines in this manner, the inserted line
number increments to 100, then the current line 100 will be incremented
one higher to accommodate the inserted line.
To stop inserting lines, press + again or use the cursor
keys to move to another program line. Make sure you have entered any
changes to your final inserted line (with the key) before exiting
the insert mode.
CAUTION Any changes you have made to the current line will be lost if you move
the cursor to another line without pressing .
