direct
command
SuperBt\SIC makes a distinction between a statement typed
in
preceded
by
a line number
and a statement typed
in
without a line number Without a line number the statement
is
a
direct
command and
is
processed immediately by the SuperBASIC
command
interpreter.
For example,
RUN
is
typed
In
on the command line and
is
processed, the
effect being that the program starts
to
run.
It
a statement
is
typed
in
with a line number
then
the
syntax
of
the
line
IS
checked and any detectable syntax errors reported A correct
line
is
entered into the SuperBASIC program and stored. These statements constitute
a SuperBASIC program and
will
only be executed when the program
is
started
With
the
RUN
or
GOTO
command.
Not
all
SuperBASIC statements make sense when entered
as
a direct command, for
example,
END FOR, END DEFine,
etc.
