Description
• The AUTO instruction automatically displays the line number as specified.
• The value specified by <line number> becomes the first line number. For the successive
lines, the value specified by <increment> is added to the value of the line number.
• If <line number> and <increment> are both omitted, 10 is assumed for both values.
• If only <line number> is omitted, 0 is assumed for the line number.
• If a comma is added after the <line number>, and <increment> is omitted, <increment> in
the previous AUTO instruction is applied.
• If a line number that has been already used is specified in the AUTO instruction,
(asterisk) is displayed after the line number. If no character is entered from the keys after
, the contents of the line are not changed even if the Enter key is pressed.
• To finish the execution of the AUTO instruction, press the Ctrl + C keys or Break key.
• While the AUTO instruction is being executed, the line that is already displayed can’t be
changed by moving the cursor.
