Chapter 6
Colon
Up to now you have written lines with only one statement. Next
you can work with an example where several statements are
connected on the same line.
The colon is used to "delimit" (separate) multi-statements entered on
the same line.
Your screen has various items on it, so clear it first by pressing the
QKey + "L". Input the following characters and press the Q Key:
BEEP: SOUND2008,10: SOUNM008,20: SOUND8000

Several sounds will be generated and the "Ok" message will
appear. The colon is used to link one statement with an¬
other. Also in this example there is no space between success ve
numerical values, so there is no need to be concerned about whether
or not spaces are present between statements in a given line.
The comma shown is part of the "SOUND" command.
