[Implemented] Continue Character?

[Steve Elliott]

I know it's BASIC - but it's a BASIC Compiler, so is there a continue character that lets the compiler know you wish to split a long line in two? If not I'd like that feature added.

I know you can use a colon to add another statement on a single line - but you can't do this in the middle of an IF statement. And things get untidy when reading - and especially when printing, because on a decent screen resolution the whole line can be seen on the same line - the paper print is too narrow.

Just makes your code tidier and so bugs easier to spot.

well, it's a recurring request

dunno if we get it, fred said he wasn't too impressed with the idea, yet somewhere else he mentioned it could come...

i've hadcked up a little tool called codecaddy that does this for you, but it's, well, something *i* wrote which doesn't bode very well

Well anybody that thinks it's a good idea please put your name to this thread.
