If
you
make a mistake which does not cause a break
from

can continue and EDIT the line
later.
If
you
want
to
start

some particular line
number,
say
600,
and
use
an
Increment other
than

you
can
type,
for
an
Increment
of

then be numbered
600,
605,

etc
To
cancel

press
CTRL
and
the
space bar
at
the
same
time,
To
edit a line simply type EDIT followed
