The CONT command causes a program which had been stopped
to continue ex ecution at the next numbered line . A program will
be stopped because of an error , SYSTEM RESET , BREAK, END, or
STOP .
In any situation, the use of CONT will cause the rest of the
current line of code to be ignored. As a result, executing BREAK
and
CONT during a program ma y cause serious problems. When
a program is stopped using BREAK , there is no way to be sure the
program will resume where it was stopped. Important steps may
be
interrupted or skipped, and loops may be improperly exited.
A
program can be continued after an error , but the entire line of
the error will be skipped.
A
program can be continued after a SYSTEM RESET , but this will
generally have negative results. All I/ O channels will be closed,
the
computer will return to the immediate mode, the screen will
be cleared, graphics mode 0 will resume, etc.
