To: LAVITSKY@RU-BLUE.ARPA cc: JAROCHA-ERNST@RU-BLUE.ARPA During the course of converting programs designed for other micros to run on my C64, I occasionally encounter lines in BASIC that simply cannot be split into smaller lines (e.g., ON X GOTO 1200,1300,1400,1500 etc, for some 80+ characters). While I can sometimes squeeze these in by using the BASIC abbreviations, this doesn't always solve the problem. Is there a way to create lines greater than 80 characters? As far as I can tell, the *Programmer's Reference Manual* says no. Anyone know better? Chris ------- -------
