decisions re: BASIC and why?

[kelli217]

Along the lines of BASIC compatibility, I just tried this on the emulator.

Code: Select all

10 ? "uid: " u
20 ? "uname: " n$

u=400 : n$ = "dave" : run

The result: the variable namespace is cleared out before the BASIC program runs:

Code: Select all

UID  :   0
UNAME:

Is this correct behavior?

Yes. To do what you're attempting, you can use GOTO from immediate mode.

GOTO!! Brilliant - thank you!
